| Reverse description | Central depiction of an American bison (Bison bison) rendered in full polychrome color, shown in profile facing left and standing on rocky ground evocative of the North Dakota Badlands landscape, with a light blue-tinted mesa formation visible in the background. The legend THEODORE ROOSEVELT arcs boldly along the upper periphery, with the words National Park in a distinctive script below it, accompanied by a small pine cone ornament. The species name Bison appears in italic script at the lower left field, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed in the exergue at the base. The coin bears an artist's signature at the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota — the only U.S. national park named for a living president at the time of its initial federal protection — was formally established in 1978, decades after Roosevelt's ranching years in the Badlands shaped his conservation philosophy more directly than any political office did. Cook Islands issued extensive commemorative silver programs throughout the 1990s under licensing arrangements that produced dozens of foreign-currency pieces honoring American subjects, a common revenue practice for small Pacific island nations with limited domestic coin demand.
