| Additional information |
St. Dmitrii of Thessaloniki is among the most venerated military saints in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, his cult centered on the Greek city where his relics have been housed since late antiquity. Cook Islands issued a substantial run of silver devotional pieces in the early 2010s targeting the Eastern European and Russian collector markets, where demand for Orthodox iconographic coinage was reliably strong. This piece belongs to that commercial series rather than any domestic monetary tradition.
