| Additional information |
One of several pieces issued under Cook Islands' long-running arrangement with licensed character properties, this coin derives its legal tender status from New Zealand's Currency Act as it applies to the Cook Islands — a technicality that has made the jurisdiction a favored vehicle for novelty bullion products since the 1970s. The gold content is minimal by any investment standard; these exist purely as collectibles minted to order by a third-party distributor, not for circulation.
