Reverse description A ski jumper in full flight is depicted in dynamic diagonal composition across the central field, rendered in frosted relief against a mirrored background. Behind the athlete, a detailed architectural rendering of the Pioneer Memorial Museum in Salt Lake City fills the lower register, providing a sense of locale and depth. The legend WINTER GAMES 2002 arcs along the upper left periphery, with SALT LAKE CITY continuing along the upper right. The denomination ONE DOLLAR appears along the lower rim.

Additional information

Issued under Cook Islands' long-running licensed commemorative program, this piece was produced for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics by a private minting house rather than any sovereign mint — Cook Islands itself has no minting facility. The .500 fineness is characteristic of this commercial commemorative category, chosen to keep production costs low while still permitting a silver content claim.
