| Additional information |
Palmerston Island is one of the most isolated atolls in the Pacific, inhabited almost entirely by descendants of a single English settler, William Marsters, who arrived in 1863 and eventually fathered dozens of children across three simultaneous families. The Cook Islands has leaned on that story repeatedly for commemorative issues aimed squarely at the collector market.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at this weight point is a budget composition dressed for display, not circulation — these never reached Palmerston, which has no retail economy to speak of.
