Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Cook Islands $20 Elizabeth II (Dolphins) gold coin is that it features a unique dolphin design, showcasing two dolphins swimming together on the obverse side of the coin. This design was created by the artist, Ian Rank-Broadley, and is a departure from the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that is commonly featured on coins.
