Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Dollars - Elizabeth II (Wheel of Life) 2019 coin from Cook Islands is that it features a unique design that represents the cycle of life. The coin's reverse side depicts a stylized wheel with eight spokes, each representing a different stage of life: birth, childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, maturity, old age, and death.
