Comment
The catalog SCWC says 40 mm in diameter, but it is crownsize, about 38.6 mm.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.
