| Reverse description | A full-color photographic portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, occupying the central field of the coin, depicting her smiling in a sleeveless blue gown and wearing a pearl and diamond necklace, evoking her attendance at the English National Ballet's performance of Swan Lake. The portrait is set within a raised inner border, flanked at lower left and right by raised gold-plated rose motifs. The arching legend DIANA - PRINCESS OF WALES curves across the upper border, while the dates 1961 - 1997, commemorating her birth and death years, appear in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars under licensing arrangements that produce hundreds of distinct types annually, most with negligible numismatic depth. This piece marks the 20th anniversary of Diana's death in 1997 and belongs to a wave of memorial issues that flooded the market that year from small-island jurisdictions with no connection to the subject.
