| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the first portrait by Mary Gillick, depicting the young queen as a bare-headed, draped bust facing right, set within a beaded inner circle. An outer legend reads ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS along the upper arc and ONE DOLLAR along the lower right, with 1oz 999 SILVER and 2011 in the lower field. A second inner legend surrounding the effigy reads ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D., presented in an unusual inverted orientation relative to the outer legend, creating a distinctive concentric layout characteristic of this commemorative issue. |

| Reverse description | Faithful reproduction of the 1954 Australian Royal Visit Florin reverse, designed by William Leslie Bowles, commemorating the first visit to Australia by Queen Elizabeth II. The design features the Australian coat of arms centrally displayed, flanked by floral emblems representing the Australian states. The legend AUSTRALIA appears along the upper arc and FLORIN along the lower arc, with the date 1954 in the lower field. The overall design faithfully replicates the original circulating florin issue, rendered here in proof-quality fine silver. |
