Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, depicting her in a traditional Polynesian headdress and necklace, which is a departure from the standard image of the Queen used on most coins. This design was created by the Cook Islands artist, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it was intended to symbolize the cultural connection between the Cook Islands and the British Monarchy.
