Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Cook Islands' connection to the sea. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse depicts a traditional Polynesian sailing canoe, known as a "vaka," with a stylized wave pattern in the background. This design not only highlights the island's maritime history but also symbolizes the country's connection to the natural world and its commitment to preserving its marine resources.
