| Obverse description | Obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley, positioned at the upper center of the coin. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs across the upper field and 'COOK ISLANDS' continues the arc to the right, while 'ONE DOLLAR' appears along the lower arc, all separated by raised dot ornaments. At the center of the coin is a raised, domed boss bearing a stylized eight-pointed star or sunburst motif with a granulated central disc, rendered in high relief with a polished gold-plated finish contrasting against the darkened surrounding field. The border is decorated with a continuous ring of beading. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a centaur archer — the zodiac symbol of Sagittarius — rendered in bold high relief against a darkened field. The centaur is shown in dynamic profile, drawing a bow with an arrow aimed upward to the left, with additional arrows visible in flight. A raised, domed central boss features a finely engraved radial sunburst pattern with a small central hole, serving as a focal point for the composition. The inscription 'SAGITTARIUS' and the date '2003' appear in the legend area. The overall design evokes a classical or ancient Greek artistic style. |
