| Additional information |
Pyotr Bagration died at Borodino in September 1812, not on the field but three weeks later from a wound sustained during the battle's opening phase. Napoleon reportedly considered him one of the most dangerous Russian commanders he faced. The coin was issued as part of Cook Islands' broader output of commemorative silver crowns aimed squarely at the thematic collector market — a prolific program that generated dozens of historical portrait pieces around this period.
