Issued to mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta's sealing at Runnymede in June 1215, this is one of dozens of commemorative pieces produced by the same Pacific island licensing arrangement that has made Cook Islands one of the world's most prolific nominal issuers — despite having a population under 20,000 and no meaningful domestic coin market. The piece was never intended to circulate and exists purely as a collector product.
