Silver Two Ounces 2020 Airplane Propeller - Blue Skies, 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 standard bullion sizes, including the large two ounces of silver format - such as this coin.

The Mint says about this coin:
For those of you that remember CIT’s incredible Anchor coin, you will be delighted to witness the follow-up of that piece. This beautiful black proof coin is called Blue Skies. Named after the wish "Blue Skies and Tailwinds" that all pilots give each other blessing them with safe travels as they navigate where the birds fly. Struck from two ounces of pure silver, you will be blown away by the relief and contrast of the propeller on the front of this plane. Look just beyond the propeller and notice the highly detailed engine. You can almost hear the distinctive sound prop planes make as they taxi down the runway.
