| Reverse description | The official Woodstock 50th anniversary commemorative logo dominates the upper field, featuring the numeral '50' with the iconic Woodstock dove-and-guitar motif incorporated into the zero, accompanied by the legend '50 YEARS' and the dates '1969 2019' flanking a peace symbol. The word 'WOODSTOCK' in bold stylised lettering spans the lower portion of the logo. The entire field surrounding the central design is richly decorated with an intricate, psychedelic pattern of sunflowers, leaves, and floral scrollwork in the spirit of 1960s counter-culture graphic art, all rendered in antiqued relief across the guitar pick-shaped flan. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock festival, this coin is one of dozens of commemorative pieces Cook Islands has produced under licensing arrangements that have made the territory one of the most prolific third-party commemorative issuers in the Pacific. The underlying silver content mirrors a half-troy-ounce fraction, positioning it squarely in the collector bullion market rather than any meaningful monetary role.
Woodstock itself drew an estimated 400,000 attendees to Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York — a crowd so far beyond any organizer projection that fencing and ticket collection were abandoned within hours of the first arrivals.
