Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique dragon design on the reverse side, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side. The dragon is shown in a dynamic pose, with its wings spread wide and a fiery breath emerging from its mouth. This design was created to commemorate the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese lunar calendar, which is believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item for coin enthusiasts and fans of the Cook Islands.
