Additional information

Wood Farm is a modest working farmhouse on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk where Prince Philip spent his final years and where he died in April 2021, just weeks before this coin was issued. The timing was almost certainly deliberate — Cook Islands and its licensing partners have a well-documented pattern of rushing commemorative releases to capitalize on royal events within weeks of occurrence.

At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, this belongs to a category of fractional issues produced primarily for the collector and gift market rather than any functional monetary purpose. The KM# assignment confirms World Coin catalog recognition, though issues of this type rarely see independent price history.
