| Reverse description | Colorized depiction of the four main characters from the Czech comic strip Čtyřlístek by Jaroslav Němeček: the dog Fifinka, the bear Bobík, the rabbit Pinďa, and the wolf Myšpulín, shown in a wintry forest scene discovering and sharing a large cauldron overflowing with gold coins. A luminous orb floats above the scene, and a shovel and pickaxe are visible in the field, alluding to the treasure-hunting theme. The title ČTYŘLÍSTEK is inscribed in stylized lettering at the top, and the copyright legend © JAROSLAV NĚMEČEK appears along the lower right rim. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars under licensing arrangements since the 1970s, and by 2013 the program had expanded to dozens of themed series annually — most produced by foreign mints with minimal connection to the islands themselves. This "Treasure" issue falls squarely in that commercial collector market, where silver-plated copper-nickel was a deliberate cost-reduction choice to hit a lower retail price point without abandoning the visual appeal of a silver finish.
