| Reverse description | The reverse presents a single poppy flower depicted in exceptional ultra-high relief, occupying the full diameter of the coin and creating a pronounced three-dimensional sculptural effect. The broadly spread petals are rendered with fine surface detail, capturing the delicate folding and curvature of the bloom, while the prominent central seed capsule is raised in bold relief at the heart of the flower. The surrounding field is minimal, allowing the sculptural poppy to dominate the design in a striking display of modern minting artistry. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver in volume for decades, most of it contracted through external minting houses rather than produced domestically — the islands have no mint of their own. This poppy issue falls within a well-established commercial commemorative tradition tied to Remembrance Day themes, which have been a reliable market category since at least the 1990s across multiple Commonwealth-affiliated issuers.
The two-troy-ounce format places it squarely in the collector bullion segment rather than anything approaching circulation. KM#3300 has not surfaced in major die-variety literature.
