| 背面描述 | Colorized bust of Captain James Cook facing left occupies the left portion of the design, set against a detailed rendition of HMS Endeavour under full sail. The ship is framed within a large ship's wheel, whose spokes and rim form a decorative border around the central maritime scene. The legend JAMES COOK arcs along the lower periphery, with DISCOVERY EASTERN AUSTRALIA above and the date 1770 prominently displayed at the top of the field, commemorating Cook's charting of the eastern coastline of Australia. |

Cook's third and final Pacific voyage, launched in 1776, was tasked with finding the Northwest Passage from the Pacific side. He never found it. He was killed at Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii, in February 1779 during a dispute over a stolen cutter — an inglorious end to the most methodical navigator the Royal Navy ever produced. Tuvalu, whose nine atolls Cook's predecessors charted but Cook himself never visited, has issued Pacific exploration commemoratives since the late 1970s, largely as revenue instruments for a nation whose land area barely exceeds 26 square kilometers.
