| Reverse description | A detailed gilt three-dimensional sculptural appliqué of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with selective gold plating highlighting the neoclassical domed rotunda, columned portico, and flanking wings against a mirror-polished silver background. Horizontal line engraving in the lower field suggests a reflecting pool. The legend USA - JEFFERSON MEMORIAL arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by a stylised globe logo with the inscription WORLD MONUMENTS at centre top. The denomination 10 DOLLARS appears in a recessed panel at the base. |

| Additional information |
The Jefferson Memorial in Washington was itself a latecomer — not completed until 1943, nearly 200 years after Jefferson's birth — and its inclusion on commemorative issues from Pacific island nations reflects the broader licensing arrangements that made Cook Islands a prolific vehicle for foreign-themed silver rounds throughout the 2010s. These pieces were struck under the Cook Islands monetary authority but conceived, marketed, and distributed almost entirely by private bullion dealers, typically with mintages set by commercial demand rather than numismatic planning.
