| Reverse description | A full-colour photographic portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, depicted in bust form facing slightly left, wearing a pale pink outfit with a white hat and a brooch at her lapel. The portrait is centrally positioned within a beaded inner border. The arc legend DIANA - PRINCESS OF WALES curves along the upper periphery, while the dates 1961 - 1997 appear in the lower field, flanked by small decorative flourishes. The gold-plated field provides a warm contrast to the colourised portrait. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands issued commemorative dollars of this type in considerable volume through licensing arrangements with the British Royal Mint's commercial partners — producing pieces that technically qualify as legal tender while functioning entirely as collectibles. Diana-themed issues proliferated across small-nation minting programs throughout the 2000s, Cook Islands among the most prolific participants.
