Cook Islands issued a wave of Olympic-themed silver dollars in the lead-up to Barcelona 1992, most of them licensed through the same Pacific island coin programs that flooded the collector market throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. These issues were struck under contract — Cook Islands held no meaningful connection to the games — and were sold almost exclusively through mail-order and dealer channels rather than ever entering circulation.
KM#112 is one of several pieces in this run sharing the same 1990 date regardless of when individual batches were actually distributed.
