Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Cook Islands, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, to commemorate the first anniversary of the euro, which was the official currency of the European Union at the time. It's unusual for a country outside of the EU to issue a coin to celebrate the anniversary of a foreign currency, but it's a testament to the global impact of the euro and the interest in it around the world.
