| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with pearl drop earring visible, rendered in high relief after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The Queen's draped bust occupies the central field with fine engraving detail in the hair and regalia. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and 100 DOLLARS along the upper right, with COOK ISLANDS continuing along the right rim. The date 2009 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed design elements. |

| Reverse description | An elaborate decorative composition centred on a stylised peacock with outspread wings and ornate plumage, rendered in a highly detailed folk-art or embroidery-inspired style. Above the peacock rises a large floral spray surmounted by a rosette or sunflower medallion, all enclosed within a wreath of pendant leaf and teardrop motifs forming an arch across the field. Foliate scrollwork and vine leaf clusters occupy the lower register, flanking a central blossom cluster. The curved legend 20th Anniversary of the Coronation arcs along the upper left and right periphery, and the purity mark .9999 appears in the right field. |
