| Reversbeschreibung | Full-colour reproduction of Quentin Matsys's 1514 Flemish oil painting 'The Moneylender and his Wife', applied to the rectangular field of the coin. The composition depicts a seated moneychanger in a dark blue tunic and black beret, attentively weighing gold coins on a balance scale, while beside him his wife, dressed in a red gown and white linen headdress, pauses from reading an illuminated manuscript to observe the transaction. A green baize-covered table in the foreground is strewn with gold coins, a decorative goblet, and a small convex mirror reflecting the surrounding interior. Shelves with various objects are visible in the background, conveying the Flemish genre tradition of moral allegory rendered with meticulous realism. |

This piece belongs to Cook Islands' ongoing program of issuing legal-tender collector coins — a revenue model the territory has used aggressively since the 1970s, with the New Zealand government retaining authority over its currency while Cook Islands exploits the arrangement for numismatic licensing income. The underlying copper substrate with silver plating keeps production costs low against a premium issue price.
Quentin Matsys painted the source work around 1514 in Antwerp, at the height of that city's commercial dominance in northern Europe.
