5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Moomin

The Moomin characters, created by Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson, first appeared in a 1945 novel and became a globally licensed property through decades of television adaptations, most notably the 1990 Japanese-Finnish animated series that cemented the family's recognition across Asia and Europe. Cook Islands has built a substantial collector coin program around licensed intellectual properties precisely because its numismatic revenue stream operates largely independent of its domestic economy.
