| Reverse description | A coiled snake, its scaled body rendered in intricate relief, dominates the central field, entwined among elegantly curling foliate scrolls with small leaves and blossoms symbolic of good fortune in the Chinese lunar tradition. Eight-pointed star ornaments are scattered throughout the field. The legend GOOD FORTUNE curves along the left periphery, with the purity mark .9999 GOLD along the right, and the denomination $10 appears at the bottom of the field flanked by star motifs. |

Cook Islands has issued lunar-series gold pieces under New Zealand's currency framework since the 1990s, but the Snake issues have historically attracted tighter secondary market premiums than most entries in the cycle — partly because 2025 marks the first Snake year with Charles III on the obverse, making it a transitional piece in the series' portrait history.
