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: The skyline of Manhattan is one of the most iconic in the world. Those who have strolled along in the Empire Fulton Ferry Park at night will recognise this incredible view of the Brooklyn Bridge with the skyline in the background on our brand new 1 oz silver proof.
The view is awe-inspiring! smartminting technology is used to capture the spirit of the enormity of New York by making this proof an impressive 50 mm in diameter. The combination of the size and sophisticated colouring will have you hearing the cars cross the bridge as you hold this in your hands. |
