| Reverse description | An ornate decorative tree rendered in high relief occupies the antique-finished field of the half-oval flan, its sinuous branches bearing stylised blossoms, buds, and scrolling foliage. A butterfly with detailed wing veining perches among the lower left branches. The inscription 'Tender Love' is set in two words within the upper portion of the composition, flanking the central branch. At the lower right, a faceted heart-shaped red crystal gemstone is inset flush with the flan, forming an integral element of the romantic design. |

| Additional information |
The Cook Islands has operated one of the most prolific commemorative programs in the world since the 1970s, issuing coins under New Zealand's currency umbrella that are legal tender in name but never intended for circulation. The "Tender Love" issue belongs to a long-running series of small-format silver rounds produced primarily for the gift and bullion markets, leveraging the Cook Islands' licensing arrangements with foreign mints — typically in Poland or the Czech Republic.
At 15.5 g of .999 silver, the specification matches a standard half-troy-ounce planchet.
