Interesting fact
The 1996 Cook Islands $1 Elizabeth II (Butterfly and Thistle) coin is a unique collector's item due to its irregular shape, resembling a butterfly. The coin's design features a butterfly on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other, with a thistle plant in the background. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and enthusiasts. Its unusual design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
