| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a reclining lion in high relief, representative of the zodiac sign Leo, occupying the right portion of the dark proof field. Stylised rays or lightning bolts radiate from a central recessed circular compartment that contains several loose black spherical beads, serving as a lucky charm or fortune element. The astrological symbol for Leo (♌) appears in the lower left field. The design is rendered in a combination of frosted relief and mirror proof finish. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' extensive wildlife and zodiac-themed collector series issued in the early 2000s, these pieces were produced under the country's long-standing arrangement with foreign minting houses rather than any domestic facility — Cook Islands has no mint of its own. Low domestic circulation pressure means nearly all examples survive in the condition they left the packaging.
