Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2017 Cook Islands $2 Elizabeth II (Hermes) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting the mythical winged horse, Pegasus, which is associated with the Greek god Hermes. This design is a departure from the traditional effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that is commonly found on coins issued by the Cook Islands and other Commonwealth nations. The inclusion of Pegasus on the coin adds a touch of mythology and fantasy to an otherwise traditional coin design, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
