| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative gold under its own authority since the 1970s, a arrangement that lets the territory produce legal tender coins with no obligation to circulate them domestically — effectively a licensing operation for the international collector market. The "Jungle Emperor Leo" belongs to a category of issues where the issuing jurisdiction is purely nominal.
At 10g of .9999 gold, the melt value will perpetually undercut the issue price.
