| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II positioned at the top center of the field, rendered in high relief against a polished black enameled background. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right, flanking the portrait, with ONE DOLLAR inscribed along the lower arc, separated by two raised bullet points. Two concentric rings of fine beading frame the central field, which features an ornate guilloché-style geometric pattern of interlocking lozenges and undulating curves within a recessed circular medallion. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the zodiac sign of Capricorn, represented by a finely detailed white-relief sea-goat figure positioned to the right against a polished black enameled field with stylized cloud or wave motifs in relief to the left. The astrological symbol for Capricorn is engraved in the lower left field. At center, a circular transparent dome capsule is set into the coin, enclosing five loose faceted red garnet gemstones — the traditional birthstone associated with Capricorn. |
