“Kua kite au i toku turanga, e Avaiki toku – I know who I am. I have a home.”
 
This is the proud motto of the Cook Islands in their anniversary year 2025 – a year full of celebrations, parades, music, and dance.
A year that will make history: 60 years of self-determination, 60 years of cultural strength, cohesion, and sovereign development.
 
The Cook Islands – an archipelago of 15 islands nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, surrounded by 2 million square kilometers of ocean. Rarotonga, the main island, delights with tropical vegetation, picturesque mountains, turquoise waters – and the open, proud smiles of a people firmly connected to their homeland.
 
To mark this significant anniversary, an exclusive series of commemorative coins is now being released, bringing the South Sea flair into your home. The coins feature Rarotonga in impressive ultra-high relief, minted with state-of-the-art smartminting® technology and artfully colored – as if the island were shining in the light of the South Seas.
