| Obverse description | The dominant design features a large high-relief portrait bust of President Theodore Roosevelt facing slightly left, wearing his characteristic pince-nez spectacles, with a prominent mustache; his name appears in a decorative scroll banner at the base reading ROOSEVELT. An arc of thirteen five-pointed stars frames the upper left field. Inset to the lower left is a smaller circular cameo depicting the diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, with the legends ELIZABETH II and 2 DOLLARS arcing above and COOK ISLANDS and 2022 below. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated one of the more prolific commemorative licensing programs in the Pacific, routinely issuing silver pieces under royal warrant that have no circulation function and are produced entirely for the collector market. This particular issue is part of a broader wave of novelty silver struck for third-party licensors — in this case tied to a plush toy brand — where the Cook Islands monetary authority effectively leases its issuing name to a bullion and numismatic product distributor.
The .999 fine silver content is the commercial anchor here, not the nominal face value.
