Interesting fact
The Mongarlowe mallee coin is a unique and rare coin that features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the image of a mallee fowl, a native bird of the Cook Islands, on the other. The coin is made of silver (.999) and weighs 31.635 grams. It was minted in 1999 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
