| Additional information |
The "Love Angel" series issued by Cook Islands through the late 1990s was produced primarily for the gift and bullion markets, targeting collectors in Germany and Japan where gold gift coins enjoyed strong retail demand during that decade. Cook Islands held no meaningful monetary relationship with these pieces — the nominal face values were never intended for circulation, and the islands' actual currency remained the New Zealand dollar.
