Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2003 Cook Islands $200 Elizabeth II (James Cook) gold coin is that it features a unique double-portrait design, with both a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and a depiction of Captain James Cook, the famous British explorer and navigator who was the first European to visit the Cook Islands in the 18th century.
