| Obverse description | The obverse is designed in the style of a banknote, featuring an intricate guilloche background with a central medallion containing the diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs above the portrait within the medallion, while 'COOK ISLANDS' and the date '2022' appear below. Shield-shaped cartouches in the lower left and upper left corners each bear the denomination '1/200 OZ', and a numeral '2' is displayed within ornate rosette devices at the upper left and lower right corners of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' long-running program of fractional gold issues produced under license, these pieces are minted by the Bavarian State Mint (Bayerische Hauptmünzamt) in Munich and distributed globally through bullion and gift markets. At 0.156 g, the gold content is genuinely minuscule — enough to qualify legally as a coin of the realm, thin enough to require lamination between protective layers in most packaging formats simply to survive handling.
