| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB visible below the truncation. To the right of the portrait, a large central inset element depicts a colourized starburst window rendered in warm amber, orange, and gold tones, surrounded by an ornate silver framework evoking decorative ironwork or architectural detail. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper rim, with COOK ISLANDS continuing to the right, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS inscribed along the lower rim. The overall composition merges traditional royal portraiture with a striking decorative window motif central to the series concept. |
