Gold Half Gram 2022 Ancient Greece - Alexander the Great, Coin from Cook Islands - detailed information

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 coin is part of the Ancient Greece series and is dedicated to Alexander the Great.

Also known as Alexander III or Alexander of Macedonia, he is widely regarded as one of the finest generals in history. He showed unusual versatility both in combining different arms and in adapting his tactics to defying opponents. Alexander’s short reign marks a decisive moment in the history of Europe and Asia. His expeditions and personal interest in scientific investigation brought many advances in the knowledge of geography and natural history.
