| Obverse description | The obverse features a dramatic maritime rescue scene rendered in high relief across the upper field, depicting the silhouette of a Coast Guard rescuer descending on a rope from above toward turbulent waves, with a distressed survivor's hand reaching upward from the water and a partially submerged vessel visible in the right field. The lower portion of the field presents a contrasting sandblasted textured surface, within which is set a circular inset portrait — the diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, attributed to the IRB effigy, serving as a posthumous tribute. The legend ONLY THE BRAVE ARE FREE is inscribed in bold raised lettering across the mid-field horizon, with ELIZABETH II to the left, COOK ISLANDS to the right, 100 DOLLARS above the portrait, and the date 2023 below. |
