Cook Islands. Cents or Tene?

Cook Islands monetary system: 100 Cents = 1 Dollar
My question is around "Tene".

Some coins on Numista have title "Tene", but in Krause the same coins have title "Cents".
For all coins, which have only nominal value without name of monetary unit, Krause writes "Cents". But for coin https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4163.html Krause writes "TENE".
What it all means?

Tene is "cents" in the native tongue. It's a bit confusing because some of the entries in our catalogue say "tene" and some of them say "cents" It should be normalised. I would prefer that they all said "tene"


It's like Samoa, their coins are sene (cents) and tala (dollar) even though they have the dollar symbol on the coins.

If to speak for "$", this symbol doesn't mean automatically "Dollar", there are also "Escudo", "Peso",...
