Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates Thor Heyerdahl's famous Kon-Tiki expedition, which took place in 1947. Heyerdahl and his crew sailed a raft made of balsa wood from South America to the Polynesian islands, a distance of over 4,000 miles, to prove that it was possible for ancient cultures to make such a journey. The coin's design features an image of Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki raft, and the coin's name "Kon-Tiki" is inscribed in the native Rarotongan language of the Cook Islands.
