| Obverse description | The obverse features a raised central disc bearing an eight-pointed compass star in relief, set within a concave field framed by two concentric beaded borders. A small effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile appears at the top of the coin between the two legend arcs. The upper legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and COOK ISLANDS to the right, while the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower arc. The overall design has a domed, medallic quality with the central motif projecting prominently from the polished gold-plated field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two stylised fish swimming in opposite directions around a raised central disc, evoking the traditional Pisces zodiac iconography. The upper fish swims to the right while the lower fish swims to the left, their scaly bodies rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field engraved with gentle wave lines. The central disc features a radially engine-turned sunburst pattern with a small central boss, finished in gold plating in contrast to the silvered fish motifs. The astrological symbol for Pisces is incised to the right of the central disc within the field. |
