Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique Mercury-themed design, showcasing the Roman god of commerce, eloquence, and thieves, on the reverse side. The design is inspired by the famous Mercury dime, a United States coin minted from 1916 to 1945, and features an image of Mercury holding a caduceus, a symbol of his association with commerce and negotiation. This design was chosen to represent the Cook Islands' connection to the sea and its rich history of trading and commerce.
