| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing portrait wearing a crown and the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend encircling the field reads ELIZABETH II above and 1 DOLLAR COOK ISLANDS 2012 below, with the artist's initials IRB truncated beneath the effigy. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a smooth field in the refined style characteristic of Rank-Broadley's coinage work for Commonwealth nations. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic engraved scene of the RMS Titanic in her final moments of sinking, with the stern raised and the bow submerged beneath the waves at a steep angle, her funnels and masts rendered in fine relief detail. A lifeboat carrying survivors is visible in the lower right field, observing the vessel's descent. Icebergs are suggested in the background of the field. The curved legend FINAL MOMENTS 2.20AM 15 APRIL 1912 arcs along the upper periphery, while RMS TITANIC CENTENARY is inscribed in two lines across the lower field. A small engraver's mark in red enamel appears at the lower centre of the field. |
