Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Persian) 2003 from Cook Islands made of Copper-nickel weighing 24.8 g is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, which was specifically created for the Cook Islands' coinage. This portrait is known as the "Persian" effigy, and it is characterized by a more youthful and regal appearance of the Queen, with a crown and a necklace that are inspired by ancient Persian art. This design was used on several coins issued by the Cook Islands in 2003, and it has become a popular collector's item among numismatists.
