The SmartMinting technology which CIT pioneered has leapt from silver to gold and picked up a gold-specific name in the process. Called BGM, an acronym of Big Gold Minting, this technique allows, like its silver counterpart, the striking of a detailed coin in less weight of metal than is usually required, but it is a distinctly different process developed just for gold - which has allowed the creation of this micro-coin.

The Mint says about this coin:

Few persons were so universally loved, adored and celebrated by people from all walks of life as Diana, Princess of Wales. It is thus fair to assume that Diana needs no further introduction and select historic snippets could surely not do her accomplishements in life justice. To commemorate Diana CIT issued this beautifully struck coin for the Cook Islands in fine gold with an uncluttered design and a highly detailed portrait of the Princess. Succeeding the Pope Benedict XVI coin, this issue is the second BigGoldMinting© released by CIT measuring 11 mm at 1/100 oz in weight. more
