You know something interesting here aside from the mintage point is that the Cook Islands coin does not depict Black Caviar at all. It's a design of a "fine racehorse" commemorating the Queen's Royal duties in her Diamond Jubilee year. Her duties include attending the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot every June. Black Caviar did win that race in 2012 but not with the ease punters expected.

These semi numismatic bullion coins are getting as bad as the RCM coins.
The dealers/scalpers clean out the mint and create their own prices in very short order.
Now they will have to buy all these other offerings to maintain their control of the prices, serves em right
