| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, COOK ISLANDS along the right, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed below the truncation. The portrait displays fine detail in the hair and drapery of the shoulder, characteristic of the fourth definitive effigy used on Commonwealth coinage from 1998 onward. |
