Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed specifically for the Cook Islands. The portrait was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and shows the Queen wearing a crown and a smile, symbolizing the theme of "Safe and Happy" which is inscribed on the coin's reverse. This design is different from the traditional portraits of the Queen used on coins in other countries, making it a distinctive and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
