| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of the Antonov An-2 biplane, known by its NATO reporting name 'Colt', rendered in three-quarter perspective against a background of coniferous treeline in the lower field. The aircraft's radial engine, strut-braced double wings, and fixed undercarriage are rendered with precise technical detail. The inscription ANTONOV 2 arcs across the upper field, with COLT appearing below it in the centre. The Antonov design bureau's Cyrillic monogram logo, styled as 'Ан', is displayed within a shield-shaped emblem at the lower centre of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of a broader Cook Islands wildlife series issued through the New Zealand-based Pacific coin program, this piece was produced under the Cook Islands' long-standing arrangement with New Zealand, which handles the territory's external affairs while leaving it free to issue its own legal tender coinage — a fiscal quirk that has made Cook Islands one of the more prolific sources of commemorative silver in the Pacific.
The colt subject places it within a surge of equine-themed issues that flooded the numismatic market in the late 2000s, largely targeting European collectors.
