The Cook Islands is a self-governing country in the South Pacific Ocean that exists in a state of free association with the nation of New Zealand. In total, there are 15 islands with a total land area of just 92.7 square miles that make up the Cook Islands proper, but an Exclusive Economic Zone for the islands stretches over more than 690,000 square miles of ocean waters.

These 2017 5 oz Proof Silver Cook Islands Mother of Pearl Rooster Coins are part of the Mother of Pearl Lunar Series launched in 2012 with the Year of the Dragon coin. Since that date, the New Zealand Mint has produced a Mother of Pearl Lunar coin in silver with beautiful colorizations on the reverse for each year, leading up to this sixth release for the Year of the Rooster coin.

On the reverse of the Proof Silver Cook Islands Mother of Pearl Rooster Coin you’ll find the New Zealand Mint’s distinctive Year of the Rooster design. It features the image of a rooster standing on one foot, with its full plumage visible in a stunning display. Engravings include the face value of the coin and the words “Year of the Rooster.”

The obverse of the 2017 5 oz Proof Silver Cook Islands Mother of Pearl Rooster Coin includes the image of Queen Elizabeth II. This depiction was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley and serves as the fourth-generation of the Queen used on British and commonwealth coinage since 1952 when she ascended to the throne.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
