| Obverse description | The obverse of this large rectangular .9999 fine silver coin features, at centre, a raised circular medallion bearing the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted as a diademed and draped bust facing right, with the engraver's initials IRB below the truncation. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and 15 DOLLARS COOK ISLANDS to the right, with the date 2017 below. Above the central medallion, the inscriptions 500g COIN FINE SILVER .9999 appear in the upper field. The background of the entire rectangular field is elaborately decorated with a radiating guilloche network pattern of interlocking curved lines, creating a striking optical effect. The Sunshine Minting logo SMI appears at the lower portion of the field, and the coin's mast rigging of the tall ship is visible emerging from below the central medallion. |
