Cook Islands Coin List
The Cook Islands, an island country in free association with New Zealand, has a unique numismatic history that reflects its political and economic evolution. Currently, the official currency is the Cook Islands dollar, which coexists with the New Zealand dollar in the archipelago.
Monetary history
Prior to the introduction of the Cook Islands dollar in 1987, the archipelago used the New Zealand dollar as its official currency. This transition marked an important milestone in the islands' financial autonomy. However, the New Zealand dollar remains legal tender and widely used in the country, reflecting the strong economic ties between the two nations.
Numismatic landmarks
The Cook Islands are known in the numismatic world for their commemorative and collector coins. Most notably, the country's first gold coin was issued in 1970, commemorating the bicentennial of the discovery of the islands by Captain James Cook. In addition, in 2006, the Cook Islands launched a 3D holographic silver coin, a technological innovation in the field of minting that attracted the attention of collectors from all over the world.
