| Reverse description | A circular color inset at the center of the reverse depicts a detailed portrait of a cream-colored Persian cat with amber eyes set against a pale blue background, rendered in a naturalistic painting style. The raised legend 'MAN'S BEST FRIENDS' arcs across the upper portion of the reverse field, while 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower portion, both in bold Latin lettering. A raised concentric ring frames the color inset, separating it from the surrounding legend and reeded edge. |

Part of a long-running Cook Islands series licensing decorative imagery for the collector market, this issue has no particular monetary or historical significance beyond its place in that commercial program. Cook Islands has used its nominal sovereignty over coinage rights extensively since the 1970s to produce pieces aimed squarely at thematic collectors rather than circulation.
