| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field against a polished mirror background. The Queen wears the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with a drop earring visible. The engraver's initials IRB appear on the truncation of the neck. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim and 1 DOLLAR along the upper rim, with COOK ISLANDS descending along the right rim; the date 2011 appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars under its own name since the early 1970s, functioning essentially as a licensing arrangement — the coins are legal tender in name but produced entirely for the collector market, never entering circulation on the islands themselves. This Diamond Jubilee piece predates the actual jubilee year by twelve months, timed for the 2011 collector cycle rather than the 2012 anniversary.
