Silver Ounce 2022 Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark, 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.

The mint says about this coin:
This eerie, vampiric-looking silver coin celebrates the 30th anniversary of Iron Maiden's album Fear of the Dark.

Legendary metal band Iron Maiden released the album in May 1992 after which it soon reached the top of the UK album charts. It was the last to feature Bruce Dickinson as the group’s lead vocalist until his return in 1999. The album cover depicts their mascot Eddie as a kind of Nosferatu tree figure leering down from under the glistening moon.
