| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem, with hair styled in curls, depicted in a draped bust portrait after the Ian Rank-Broadley design. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left field and 'COOK ISLANDS' along the upper right, both separated from the inner field by a raised border. The date '2005' appears in the lower exergue. The coin is struck in proof quality, with a deeply mirrored field contrasting against the frosted relief of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Three-quarter facing bust of Charles Dickens, depicted slightly to the right, showing the celebrated Victorian novelist with a full beard and moustache, wearing a jacket and cravat, rendered in finely detailed frosted relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend 'CHARLES DICKENS 1812 - 1870' arcs along the upper border of the coin, with the denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' inscribed along the lower border. The design presents a dignified and realistic portrait consistent with well-known photographic likenesses of Dickens in his later years. |
