Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with a unique crown that is not typically seen on other coins. The crown is designed to resemble a traditional Polynesian headdress, which is a nod to the Cook Islands' cultural heritage. This unique design element sets the coin apart from other coins featuring the Queen's image and adds to its collectibility.
