| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, executed after Arnold Machin's celebrated effigy, wearing a tiara and with hair elegantly styled. The peripheral legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'COOK ISLANDS' to the right, with the date '1985' positioned in the lower exergue. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a polished field, conveying the refined character typical of Commonwealth commemorative coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylised Polynesian tiki figure in profile, rendered in bold relief with characteristic mask-like facial features, folded arms, and a crouching posture, set against a smooth field. The denomination '$1' appears twice flanking the central figure at mid-field. The peripheral legend reads '2ND P.I.C. & MINI GAMES' in the upper arc and '16TH FORUM' in the lower arc, the latter inverted in the image due to medal alignment. The engraver's initials 'JB' and a small star mintmark are visible in the lower field below the tiki figure. |
