Additional information

Issued as part of a broader Cook Islands commemorative program that flooded the collector market throughout the 1990s, this piece belongs to a series marking significant centuries of history — a format that proved enormously lucrative for the island's government, which had been licensing its minting authority to overseas producers since the 1970s. Cook Islands never maintained a domestic mint; these coins were produced under contract, typically in the United States or Europe, with nominal legal tender status on the island itself.

KM#400 places this within a densely populated catalog sequence from that decade.
