Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of a foreign head of state (Queen Elizabeth II) and a foreign country (Cook Islands) on a coin issued by a third country (Germany). This is a result of the Cook Islands' practice of issuing coins with the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, despite being a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, as a way to promote their independence and cultural identity.
