| Additional information |
Part of a broader allegorical virtue series issued through the Cook Islands' prolific commemorative program, which has functioned since the 1970s as a revenue mechanism for the New Zealand-administered territory rather than a domestic circulating currency. These pieces are struck to collector specification and have never meaningfully entered circulation on the islands themselves.
