| Obverse description | Diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the neck truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, with COOK ISLANDS along the upper right, and the date 2003 positioned at the bottom of the field. The design is framed by the distinctive twelve-notch scalloped border of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands' circulation coinage has long occupied an awkward position — the islands use the New Zealand dollar in practice, making these issues more administrative formality than working currency. Most pieces from this series saw minimal commercial handling, which explains why worn examples are harder to find than uncirculated ones.
