| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The Queen is depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with a drop earring visible. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field and COOK ISLANDS along the right, with the date 2010 positioned in the lower field beneath the portrait, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued lunar series coinage under New Zealand's currency arrangement since the 1970s, though these pieces circulate nowhere and are produced entirely for the collector market. The 2010 Tiger issue falls within the standard run of such programs — nothing distinguishes its production history, mintage authorization, or political circumstances from dozens of comparable issues struck the same year by Pacific island jurisdictions with no independent mint facilities.
