| Obverse description | A full-color depiction of the Earth occupies the central field, rendered as a domed insert showing continental landmasses and cloud formations. The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, appears in right-facing profile at the top of the coin above the globe. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right, flanking the royal portrait. The denomination and fineness inscription — 1 DOLLAR 1oz 999 SILVER 2010 — is inscribed in small characters at the base of the field below the globe. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a full-color domed insert depicting the Earth against a fiery orbital background of orange and red hues, evoking launch and re-entry. Three depictions of the NASA Space Shuttle in various attitudes of flight surround the globe — one ascending at upper left, one in orbital configuration at lower center, and one in a prominent landing or descent profile at the right. The inscription 1981 arcs across the upper portion of the coin, and the legend FIRST SPACE SHUTTLE is arranged along the lower arc, commemorating the inaugural flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia on April 12, 1981. |
