Comment
Estimated mintage around 60 000 pieces.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that blends traditional Inca culture with the image of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of the Queen, while the reverse side depicts an Inca prince, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Inca Empire and European colonizers. This design choice is particularly interesting because it reflects the complex history of the Cook Islands, which was a British colony in the Pacific that also had strong ties to the Inca Empire. The coin's unique design makes it a standout among other coins in the series and adds to its numismatic value.
