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: Fun facts: Fighting fishes are known to recognise their human companions. They will follow your finger around the aquarium and can even be trained to perform tricks! What makes this piece eclectic? Well, on one hand we have split it into two halves with a mirrored proof finish on one side and silk black finish on the other, giving this coin a stunning contrast. Thanks to the enhanced smartminting® technology the fighting fish itself is set on top of this contrast in ultra-high relief and colourised with an incredibly high level of sophistication which perfectly matches the different backgrounds. Hold this coin into your hand and you want to move it around again and again to discover this amazing animal and how it is depicted on this extraordinary piece. | ||||||||||||
