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 coin is the perfect gift for all collectors and friends of the Christmas season. It wonderfully combines numismatics with the celebration of the holiday. As with its predecessor, integrated crystals and filigree details underline the magical effect of this Christmas star and with the cut-out, it’s ideal for hanging up as a decorative element. Whether silver or gilded - this numismatic work of art enchants with its gorgeous charm. |
