Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of monarchs, with Elizabeth II on the obverse (front) side and King George III on the reverse (back) side. This is because the Cook Islands, a self-governing territory in the Pacific Ocean, was a British colony at the time the coin was issued, and King George III was the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom during that period. The coin's design serves as a nod to the history and cultural heritage of the Cook Islands.
