A sword hilt is visible at lower left, and the figure is shown in three-quarter length against a plain field. The inscription KING CHARLES II appears to the left of the portrait in the inner field, while the curved legend HISTORY OF THE ROYAL FAMILY arches along the upper periphery. A small crown device is centred at the bottom of the inner border. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars under its own name since the early 1970s, despite having no independent monetary system — New Zealand currency circulates in practice. The King Charles II piece belongs to a long run of portrait-themed issues produced largely for the collector and novelty market, struck under licensing arrangements rather than for any domestic monetary purpose.
