| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed bust of Liberty facing left, her long hair flowing dramatically to the right in the style reminiscent of early American coinage. Liberty wears a radiate crown with elongated spikes and a star-spangled draped garment across her shoulder. The legend LIBERTY appears vertically along the right field, and the date 2020 is inscribed in the lower right field. A border of thirteen five-pointed stars encircles the design, referencing the original thirteen American colonies, all within a beaded rim. |

| Additional information |
The "Flowing Hair Dollar" design references the 1794–1795 United States issue, the first dollar coin struck by the U.S. Mint — a type that last sold at auction in 2013 for over ten million dollars, making it the most expensive coin ever sold at that time. Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver dollars under its own authority since the 1970s, leveraging a currency arrangement with New Zealand to produce legal-tender collector pieces without maintaining a domestic mint.
