| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the neck truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left rim, with 1 DOLLAR at the top and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right rim. The date 2013 appears in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, giving the coin a prooflike appearance. |

| Reverse description | A full-color photographic-style depiction of the Great Sphinx of Giza occupies the central field, showing the iconic limestone monument in three-quarter left profile against a light blue sky, rendered with detailed color application. Surrounding the central colored insert is a gold-plated border decorated with a series of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols evenly spaced around the circumference, including the ankh, the djed pillar, and other emblematic motifs. The legend TREASURES OF ANCIENT EGYPT arcs along the upper rim within the decorative border. The overall design combines color printing with gold-plated relief elements to create a striking commemorative composition. |
