Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1991 Cook Islands $50 Elizabeth II (Kangaroo) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a kangaroo, which is not a common motif on coins. The kangaroo is depicted in a standing position, with its pouch visible, surrounded by foliage. This design was created by the artist, Raphael Maklouf, who is known for his work on various coins and medals. The inclusion of a kangaroo on the coin serves as a nod to the Cook Islands' connection to Australia, as the kangaroo is a symbol of the latter country.
