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 coin is part of the Trapped series started in 2019. The Mint says about it: At long last, after three previous sold out "Trapped" issues, this fourth edition is finally able to become “Untrapped”! At least "someone" of the Trap attack from last release tries to escape. But is it the offender or the transformed victim who is about to jump out of the coin?
The incredible detail of the stretched fabric combined with ultra-realistic sloping relief make for a coin that really causes goose bumps. Struck from 1 ounce of pure silver in an antique finish and limited to only 999 pieces for the world, we fully expect this issue to sell out just like the others did. Will this be the last of the story? Stay tuned to find out if this is the end. |
