| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and wearing a drop earring, after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The finely detailed bust occupies the central field against a deeply mirrored background. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, while 1 DOLLAR arcs across the upper field and COOK ISLANDS descends along the right periphery. The date 2014 appears in the lower exergue, and the engraver's initials IRB are incused beneath the truncation of the neck. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a full-colour applied print depicting a scene of British Allied soldiers advancing across Pegasus Bridge, the famous bascule bridge over the Caen Canal in Normandy, France, captured during the early hours of D-Day on 6 June 1944. Three soldiers wearing green berets and carrying rifles are shown in the foreground, with the distinctive steel lattice superstructure of the bridge rising behind them. The scene is rendered in a painterly illustrative style. A broad dark border encircles the coloured vignette, with the legend D-DAY TO VICTORY arcing across the upper border and the commemorative dates 6th JUNE 1944 – 8th MAY 1945 inscribed along the lower border. |
