| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of Drax the Destroyer, the Marvel Comics character, shown as a muscular warrior with distinctive red tattoos covering his torso and head, wielding a large blade in his right hand. The figure is rendered in vivid applied color and occupies the majority of the coin's field, with a dynamic black-and-white comic-art background featuring skeletal and graphic elements. The character name DRAX appears in bold lettering to the right of the figure, with the inscriptions 1/2 OUNCES .999 FINE SILVER and ©MARVEL appearing in the lower exergue area. |

| Additional information |
Drax is one of Marvel Comics' more unlikely subjects for a numismatic series — a character introduced in 1973 specifically to hunt and kill Thanos, whose own cultural profile wouldn't spike until the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy film. Cook Islands has leveraged its sovereign minting authority extensively for licensed pop-culture issues, and this piece falls squarely in that commercial program rather than any domestic monetary tradition.
The Cook Islands' legal tender collector coin program is administered through external distributors; these pieces never circulate on the islands themselves.
