| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies a raised circular medallion at the upper centre of the coin, rendered in high relief. The surrounding field depicts a sweeping panoramic view of the island of Santorini, with whitewashed Cycladic architecture, blue-domed churches, terraced hillside buildings, and the caldera sea in the background, executed in fine engraved detail. The circular legend around the royal portrait reads '10 DOLLARS · CHARLES III · 2025 · COOK ISLANDS ·' in raised Latin lettering. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear discreetly in the field near the portrait. The overall composition integrates the royal effigy seamlessly into the scenic landscape design. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated one of the most prolific bullion and collector-coin licensing programs in the Pacific since the 1970s, issuing under its own authority while relying entirely on New Zealand currency in daily commerce. The Santorini issue belongs to a long-running geography series produced under that arrangement, with Charles III appearing as nominal sovereign following his accession in September 2022 — making 2025 strikes among the earlier regular issues to carry his effigy across the full Cook Islands catalog.
