The background features a stylized winter landscape with purple-hued ice formations and snow-covered mounds rendered in polychrome enamel. The film's logo 'Niko & The Way to the Stars' appears in stylized lettering in the upper right portion of the field. The design is vividly colored against the silver heptagonal flan, with the serrated milled edge framing the composition. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' long-running series of portrait dollars issued under license arrangements that have made the territory one of the more prolific novelty coin issuers of the Pacific, this piece honors Wilma Rudolph, the Tennessee-born sprinter who won three gold medals at the 1960 Rome Olympics despite having been partially paralyzed by polio as a child. Rudolph was the first American woman to win three track and field golds at a single Games.
