| Obverse description | Central medallion bearing the right-facing effigy of King Charles III, uncrowned and in civilian dress, surrounded by the circular legend '· 10 DOLLARS · CHARLES III ·' above and 'COOK ISLANDS' below, with the engraver's initials 'DT' in the lower field of the medallion. The surrounding field is dominated by an elaborate high-relief swirling pattern of interlocking feather- or blade-like radiating forms that fill the entire obverse, creating a dynamic vortex effect. The word 'PHOBIAS' is inscribed in spaced capital letters across the upper portion of the coin, integrated within the swirling design. The overall composition combines a classically styled portrait with a bold, contemporary sculptural background executed in proof finish. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a menacing, highly detailed high-relief effigy of a sinister clown rendered in deep red colour-coating, evoking the theme of coulrophobia (the fear of clowns). The clown wears a tall top hat adorned with a sunflower, has wild hair and an exaggerated, leering grin with bared teeth, and is dressed in a ruffled collar and bow tie. In the lower right of the field, the clown's hand holds a coloured balloon rendered in blue and green selective colour application, adding a stark chromatic contrast to the predominantly red field. The date '2026' appears in incuse lettering along the lower rim. The concave high-relief field enhances the dramatic, unsettling visual impact of the design. |
