| Additional information |
This piece belongs to the wave of Diana memorial issues that flooded the commemorative market following the 25th anniversary of her 1997 death — Cook Islands being one of several Pacific territories whose minting agreements with the Pobjoy Mint and later the Coin Invest Trust made them prolific vehicles for this kind of licensed commemorative output. The islands have no meaningful connection to Diana; the Cook Islands designation is effectively a licensing arrangement that grants legal tender status to pieces aimed squarely at the collector market.
Mintage figures for issues in this series vary considerably by release window, and secondary market premiums tend to compress quickly once initial retail sell-through is complete.
