Silver Ounce 2013 Year of the Snake - Blue, 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 bullion sizes, including one ounce of silver - such as this coin. This coloured rectangular silver coin is part of the Lunar Series II issued by the Perth Mint, and marks the Chinese 2013 Year of the Snake (10 February 2013 - 30 January 2014). It was part of a four-coin set with complementing designs. The mint says about it: | ||||||
