The Sydney Harbour Bridge appears on Cook Islands coinage because of a longstanding arrangement allowing the Cook Islands government to issue commemorative and collector coins largely detached from any domestic monetary need — the islands' actual circulation coinage is the New Zealand dollar. This piece is one of dozens of topically-themed issues produced for the international collector market rather than domestic use, a revenue stream the Cook Islands has relied on heavily since the 1970s.
