Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2005 Cook Islands $1 Elizabeth II (Peaches) silver coin is that it features a unique peach-colored hue, which is where it gets its nickname "Peaches" from. This coloration is due to the specific minting process used to create the coin, which involves applying a thin layer of peach-colored enamel to the silver surface. This process not only gives the coin its distinctive appearance but also adds an extra layer of collectibility and rarity to the coin, making it highly sought after by collectors.
