Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of designs, with the obverse (front) side bearing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. This unusual combination of designs was likely chosen to commemorate the historical connection between the Cook Islands and the United States, as the Cook Islands were a U.S. territory from 1942 to 1946.
