| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, centrally positioned within the fan-shaped field. The legend '~ ELIZABETH II ~ COOK ISLANDS ~' curves along the upper arc, while the denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' appears flanking the portrait to the left and right. Below the effigy, the engraver's initials 'IRB' appear, with the fineness inscription '· 1/2 oz 999 silver ·' along the lower arc. The obverse field is deeply mirrored in proof finish against a matte background rim. |

| Reverse description | A stylised cobra snake rendered in gold-plated relief occupies the right-centre of the fan-shaped field, depicted rearing with hood spread, its scaled body intricately detailed. The snake is surrounded by decorative silver-finished floral and foliate motifs in an East Asian artistic style against a deeply blackened background. A rope-twist gilt border frames the inner field. The year '2013' appears in the upper left portion of the field in stylised numerals. The overall composition evokes traditional Chinese decorative art in celebration of the Year of the Snake. |
