Silver Twenty Grams 2024 Brilliant Love, 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.

Collector coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Many of them are in bullion sizes based on the troy ounce, but some are "metric", like twenty grams (20g) of silver.

This coin is part of a heart-shaped series issued (almost) annually, with a new design every year.

The mint says about it:
Roses, with their alluring fragrance, have long held court in the gardens of romantics and poets alike. Nature’s divas draped in flamboyant petals, captivating our senses with their resplendent beauty. But beware, for beneath their marvellous façade lies a thorny nature.

The 14th edition of the "Silver Hearts" series charms with two pink crystals and subtle colours.
