Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2003 Cook Islands $30 Elizabeth II (Year of the Goat) gold coin is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's reverse side features a goat standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a stylized depiction of a mountain range. If you look closely, you'll notice that the goat's horns are shaped like the number "2" and the mountain range resembles the number "3". This design element was intentionally incorporated by the coin's designer to represent the coin's denomination of $30.
