Interesting fact

The Alpine Ibex coin from the Cook Islands features a unique design, showcasing a majestic Alpine Ibex, a species of wild goat found in the European Alps, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is made of copper-nickel and weighs 28.4 grams. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not intended for general circulation and is instead produced for collectors.
