Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of monarchs, with King George II on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other. This is because the Cook Islands, a self-governing territory in the Pacific, was a British colony at the time of the coin's minting in 2010, and Queen Elizabeth II was the head of state, while King George II was the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom during the time of the coin's design. This makes the coin a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
