Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2009 Cook Islands $5 Silver Elizabeth II (Mercury) coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a more artistic and stylized manner than traditional coin designs. The coin's designer, Ian Rank-Broadley, created a sculpted relief of the Queen's likeness, which was then applied to the coin using a special minting process. This resulted in a visually striking and highly detailed image that sets the coin apart from other coins bearing the Queen's image.
