Interesting fact
The 2009 $1 Elizabeth II (First Space Walk) coin from Cook Islands features an error in its design. The coin was intended to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first human spacewalk, which was performed by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov in 1965.

This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and unique collector's item.
