The Cook Islands, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar circulates in parallel with the local Cook Islands Dollar; at the same time, the government also authorises many legal tender coins in the Cook Islands Dollar currency for collector's purposes. Many of them are in standard sizes, including the half gram (0.5 g) of gold mini-coin format - such as this coin.
This ingot-shaped coin is one of a series of 12 coin mini-bars featuring characters and themes from the Harry Potter series of books and films, and features Albus Dumbledore.
"Albus Dumbledore was a half-blood wizard, revered in the wizarding world as one of the greatest wizards in the modern era. He was the Headmaster of Hogwarts for over thirty years, a time period that encompassed both of Voldemort's attempts to take over he Wizarding world." |
