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.
This coin named The Wave is the second in the Silverland series by CIT Coin Invest.
The mint says about it: The successor to the technical marvel The Rock has shed its sharp angled edges and corners. With the second edition to the series, we leave the rugged, jagged landscape behind and enter a smooth fluid state, the element of water. "The Wave» shines" with an exceptionally silky, nearly melting like surface appearance and makes a unique contribution to this series. |
