Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed specifically for the Cook Islands. The 4th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and was used on several coins issued by the Cook Islands in 2010. The portrait shows the Queen wearing a crown and a necklace, and has a more relaxed and friendly appearance compared to other portraits of the Queen that are commonly used on coins. This unique design makes the coin stand out and adds to its collectibility.
