| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' long-running series of antique-finished silver issues produced largely for the collector market, this piece was struck by a European contract mint rather than any facility connected to the islands themselves. Cook Islands has no domestic mint and has issued collector coins under licensing arrangements since the 1970s, making the "issuer" designation a legal fiction tied to the territory's monetary agreement with New Zealand.
KM#1367 places it within a densely populated run of similar issues from this period — the catalog numbers alone tell the story of just how prolifically these were produced.
