| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and '1 DOLLAR COOK ISLANDS' to the right, with the date '2016' positioned in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars in volumes that strain credibility — the country's numismatic program, administered largely through overseas agencies, produces hundreds of themed issues annually bearing its name. This piece marks Elizabeth II's 90th birthday in 2016, one of dozens of royal milestone coins issued that year across multiple Pacific and Caribbean jurisdictions. The KM#2358 reference places it firmly within that flood of licensed output rather than any domestic monetary tradition.
