Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Sakamoto Ryōma, a prominent figure in Japanese history, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a unique feature, as most coins issued by the Cook Islands feature the Queen on both sides. This coin was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Sakamoto Ryōma's birth and highlights the close relationship between Japan and the Cook Islands.
