| Reverse description | Central color-printed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, depicted in formal attire; the Queen wearing a tiara and necklace, the Duke wearing a suit with decorations and sash. The inscription ELIZABETH AND PHILIP arcs along the upper legend, with the commemorative dates 1947 and 2007 flanking the portrait in the lower field, marking their Diamond Wedding Anniversary. A decorative beaded border frames the colored central image, and a small monogram or mint mark appears at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 60th anniversary of the marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, this is a commemorative piece aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. Cook Islands has issued gold-plated cupro-nickel rounds of this type prolifically since the 1990s, largely through licensing arrangements with overseas distributors — the islands themselves have little hand in the actual production or distribution chain.
