| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, rendered after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The Queen's hair is elaborately styled and she wears a drop earring. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left periphery, 'COOK ISLANDS' along the right, and '1 DOLLAR' appears at the top of the field. The date '2017' is placed in the lower field, with the engraver's initials 'IRB' incused below the portrait truncation. The mirrored proof field provides sharp contrast against the finely detailed effigy. |

| Reverse description | Central depiction of Queen Elizabeth II enthroned in coronation regalia, wearing the St. Edward's Crown and holding the Sovereign's Orb and Sceptre with Cross, set against a backdrop of stylised wheat sheaves. The figure is rendered in high relief within a polished proof field. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the commemorative numeral '65' in gold-coloured relief positioned at the lower centre of the inner field. The surrounding legend, separated by raised dots, reads 'FAITH · AND · TRUTH · I · WILL · BEAR · UNTO · YOU', a phrase drawn from the Coronation Oath, arcing around the full periphery on a darkened frosted ground. |
