Silver Ounce 2015 Peacock, 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 is the first coin in the Magnificent Life collection by CIT Coin Invest.

The Mint says about it:
Few creatures can match the spectacular courtship display of a male peafowl, which even captivated Charles Darwin and led him to contemplate the concept of sexual selection. The new and aptly named Magnificent Life series portrays the peacock in all its glory. An astonishing high-relief and concave background combined with brilliant colouring create an almost life-like impression of this extraordinary bird.
