Interesting fact
The 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Polar Bears) 2008 coin from the Cook Islands features a unique design that showcases two polar bears standing on an ice floe, with the majestic Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible in the background. This design is particularly interesting because it highlights the vulnerability of polar bears and their habitats due to climate change, and serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures and their environments.
