First Responders Gold Coin – Police 1 g Gold 2026 Proof

First Responders Gold Coin – Police 1 g Gold 2026 Proof is a collector’s issue from the Cook Islands dedicated to police officers. This piece symbolically pays tribute to those who stand guard over safety and public order, making responsible decisions every day and often risking their own lives in the line of duty.

A tribute to the services captured in gold

The coin was struck from 1 gram of 999.9 fine gold in Proof quality. Its diameter is 16 mm, and its face value is 10 Cook Islands dollars. Particularly noteworthy is the limited mintage of exactly 911 pieces. This number was deliberately chosen as a reference to the 9-1-1 emergency number, symbolizing protection, service, and the dedication of emergency responders.

Obverse and reverse of the coin

Obverse features the coat of arms of the Cook Islands with a shield surrounded by stars and distinctive heraldic elements. Along the edge are the inscriptions “COOK ISLANDS,” “10 DOLLARS,” and the year of issue, 2026.

Reverse depicts a stylized police badge with a large five-pointed star symbolizing authority, trust, and protection. The design is complemented by laurel branches, smaller stars, and the inscriptions “POLICE,” “9-1-1,” and “HEROES RESPOND FIRST.”
