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, also known as the "mature portrait," was introduced in 2015 and features a more mature and regal image of the Queen, compared to the previous portraits. This design change was implemented to reflect the Queen's age and her long reign, and it has been used on several coins issued by the Cook Islands and other Commonwealth countries.
