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. The coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the euro symbol on the other, highlighting the connection between the two currencies. This coin is a unique example of a non-circulating coin issued by a small country to celebrate a major global economic event.
