| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait set against a richly painted landscape background inspired by his Post-Impressionist style. The bust-length portrait of the artist faces slightly left, rendered with characteristic impasto brushwork in warm ochres, reds, and greens; van Gogh is depicted with his distinctive auburn beard and close-cropped hair, wearing a light blue jacket. The background features swirling skies, rolling hills in blue and white, a golden wheat field, and a dark cypress tree to the right, evoking the landscape of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The year 2022 appears in the lower field. The coloring is applied using a precision printing technique over the milled silver surface. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver in volume for decades, functioning less as a Pacific monetary authority and more as a licensing vehicle for international coin programs. This van Gogh piece belongs to that trade — produced for the collector market with no meaningful circulation history or monetary function on the islands themselves.
Van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime.
