| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular silver ingot-style coin features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted in right-facing profile with a crowned and draped bust occupying the upper central field. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' curves below the portrait, with the engraver's initials 'IRB' incused beneath the truncation. The denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed in raised letters along the upper margin, while the issuer 'COOK ISLANDS', date '2014', and metallic specification 'Ag 20g 999' appear in the lower field. A symmetrical decorative floral and foliate motif in high relief spans the lower half of the obverse, lending an ornamental character to the design. |

| Additional information |
Part of a zodiac series issued under Cook Islands' long-running bullion and collector program, which has relied on New Zealand's monetary relationship to authorize foreign-currency commemoratives for decades. The rectangular planchet — reflected in those asymmetric dimensions — was a deliberate production choice to distinguish the series from round bullion issues flooding the same market segment in the early 2010s.
