| Reverse description | The reverse features a central full-color applied insert depicting Theodore Roosevelt mounted on horseback in his Rough Riders military uniform, rendered in a vivid illustrative style reminiscent of period artwork. Behind him, a charge of cavalry soldiers carrying the American flag fills the background. A blue ribbon banner in the lower center of the insert bears the legend ROUGH RIDERS, while a large five-pointed star overlaid with the American flag motif appears to the lower right. The outer silver field is inscribed with THEODORE ROOSEVELT arching across the top and AN AMERICAN LIFE along the bottom, with a ring of five-pointed stars punctuating the border on both sides. |

| Additional information |
The "Rough Riders" name evokes Theodore Roosevelt's 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, the regiment he helped organize and famously charged with at San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish-American War of 1898. Cook Islands has built an extensive licensed commemorative program around American historical subjects — a reliable revenue stream for a territory whose numismatic output far exceeds any domestic monetary need.
