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.
The Mint says about this coin: Happy Birthday, Mr. Bean 2020 marks the 30th Anniversary of this cultural icon. Described by his creator as "a child in a grown man’s body", Mr. Bean has become a favourite of millions around the globe. His humorous antics are highlighted by his clumsiness and his ability to create embarrassing chaos around him.
This incredible one ounce silver proof shows Mr. Bean in his two best-known forms. The character played by actor and creator Rowan Atkinson, and his animated form. The instantly recognisable quirky smile paired with the tweed jacket and skinny red tie will put a smile on your face and bring back fond memories of his antics. Behind Mr. Bean you can see the British flag just below the 30th Anniversary logo. |
