Comment
Front: Collared head queen Elizabeth II (right, 1952-) with tiara designer: Ian Rank-Broadley (IRB, sculptor, 1952-) below (value) 5 DOLLARS legend: (top, free association of New Zealand) COOK ISLANDS (bottom, ruler) ELIZABETH II Back: Cross made of five red gems left of gild coat of arms of Pope Benedict XVI (2005-2013) (below, subject) ANNUS SECUNDUS (translated: second year) legend: (above, name) BENEDICTUS XVI (bottom, year) 2006Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Benedictus XVI depicted on the obverse side. This is a rare feature for a coin, as it typically only bears the image of one head of state or leader. The inclusion of both figures signifies the special relationship between the Cook Islands and the Vatican City, as well as the mutual respect and recognition between the two leaders.
