Interesting fact
The Senegalese lion on the 1996 Cook Islands $1 coin is a unique feature, as the lion is not typically associated with the Cook Islands. It's interesting to note that the coin's design was likely chosen to commemorate the lion's status as a symbol of power and strength, rather than any specific connection to the Cook Islands.
