| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated as a prolific commemorative issuer since the 1970s, licensing its monetary authority to third-party minting programs that sell almost exclusively to collectors rather than circulating domestically. This piece is a product of that arrangement — a numismatic commodity rather than a coin struck to meet any genuine transactional need. The .9999 fineness at 3.45 g places it fractionally above a tenth-ounce, a weight chosen to hit a specific retail bullion price point at the time of issue.
