| Additional information |
The "Woman with a Fan" belongs to Cook Islands' long-running art-themed bullion and collector series, which has exploited the territory's New Zealand-backed issuing authority since the 1970s to produce coins with no genuine domestic circulation — minted entirely for the international collector market. The Cook Islands has one of the most prolific and commercially aggressive minting programs of any Pacific territory, frequently licensing imagery from European paintings and decorative arts for exactly this type of release.
KM#2863 is a modern numismatic product. Nothing about its minting circumstances is historically remarkable.
