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 the Sorting Hat.
"Legend has it that the sorting hat originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. The hat was jointly enchanted by all four founders to ensure that students would be sorted into their eponymous houses. It contains the intelligence of the four founders, can speak and is skilled at Legilimency, which enables it to look into the wearer's mind and correctly interpret its findings." |
