Interesting fact
The 2011 Cook Islands $1 coin featuring Princess Diana of Wales is a unique collector's item, as it is a non-circulating coin made of gold-plated copper-nickel. This means that while it has a gold-like appearance, it is not made entirely of gold, but rather a combination of copper and nickel with a gold plating. This makes it a more affordable option for collectors who want to own a gold-like coin without the high cost of a solid gold coin. Additionally, the coin's design features a portrait of Princess Diana, making it a special tribute to her memory and a sought-after collectible for fans of the royal family.
