| Additional information |
Igor of Kyiv, canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1147, was a prince whose reign ended when a Novgorodian mob tore him apart during a church service — a fact that made his veneration as a martyr theologically straightforward. Cook Islands issued a substantial run of silver five-dollar pieces in this period under licensing arrangements that had little to do with the islands themselves, functioning largely as vehicles for European bullion and collector markets.
