Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique dragon design on the reverse side, which is a departure from the traditional effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that is commonly found on coins minted by the Cook Islands. The dragon is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its wings spread wide and its claws outstretched, giving the coin a sense of energy and dynamism. The use of silver and the detailed design make this coin a standout piece for collectors of numismatics.
