Cook Islands 10 Dollars, 1987 ND, P-4, UNC

Description

The 1987 10 Cook Islands dollar bank note is part of the first series of Cook Island dollar bank notes, which were originally issued for numismatic sales revenue. The 1987 series is one of the few modern bank notes that feature a naked woman. The obverse features Ina, the legendary lover of the god of the ocean, riding a wave on a shark while holding a coconut. The reverse features the carved statues of the Cook Islands pantheon of gods. Because the bank note was used for numismatic sales, there is no security features. The dimensions of the note are 150 mm by 75 mm.
