[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 25143318, member: 78719"]I will go and check but by recall are listed in Krause and Schon (you should get a copy for backup reference even if the listings are a bit abbreviated). Krause last produced to my knowledge a 20th C. catalogue in 2020 and got Schon off one of those major booksellers on interned but forgot which one). I found more info and pictures in Krause with regards to your question. Probably not exhaustive, but here ya go: 1988 Explorer series in $50 silver (this same ?? series continued by another mint in 1992 & 1993) AND then the FM mint evidently came back in 1997 for more explorer coins in $50 GOLD AND then a miscellaneous SILVER 1997 $50 series that commemorated Islam, QE II and some others. I do not have any of these vintage Cook or Virgin Islands coins and so don't really know them; they seem to show up in bullion lots on occasion. My favourite Cook Islands coin is the 1976FM $100 Revolutionary war commem struck in matte gold format (for what purpose I am not sure as there are Prooflike and proof coins struck). These may have been issued to whatever banking authorities there are down there & the only other matte I saw had been rather marked up consistent with such "treatment".[/QUOTE]
