Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, on the reverse side, despite being issued by the Cook Islands, a country in the Pacific Ocean. This is a unique feature, as most coins issued by the Cook Islands feature images of local wildlife, landmarks, or traditional Polynesian designs. The inclusion of Obama's portrait on the coin may have been a nod to his historical significance as the first African American President of the United States.
