| Additional information |
Vladimir Tarasenko, the Russian-born winger who built his reputation with the St. Louis Blues, was at the height of his NHL prominence in 2017 — having scored 33 goals the previous season and representing Russia at multiple international tournaments. Cook Islands has issued an extensive series of silver rounds honoring hockey players under licensing arrangements that blur the line between numismatic product and bullion collectible. This particular issue belongs to that category squarely: a one-troy-ounce, four-nines fine silver piece with a nominal face value no one would ever spend.
