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.

Collector coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes, including the large three ounces of silver format - such as this coin.

The coin has an antique finish, is partly coloured and is struck on a 3 oz pure silver 50mm blank in the highest quality.

Snowwhite is a German fairy tale known across the world since the 19th century. The first edition of the story appeared in the 19th century with the original name Sneewittchen. The fairy tale tells a story about a beautiful princess Snow White and her stepmother, the Queen. The Queen is jealous because she wants to be known as “the fairest in the land” when Snow White’s beauty surpasses her own. Snow White lives with the well-known Seven Dwarfs in a small forest house.
