| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a licensed bullion-adjacent series issued under Cook Islands authority — a jurisdiction that has functioned primarily as a convenient licensing vehicle for commemorative and novelty coinage since the 1970s, with no expectation of domestic circulation. The Peanuts franchise rights added a royalty layer on top of the standard sovereign licensing arrangement.
At 1.56 g of .9999 gold, the specification matches the 1/20 oz format common to fractional collector issues of this decade.
