| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-color central scene depicting two figures in period wrestling attire squaring off against one another, referencing Abraham Lincoln's well-documented career as a frontier wrestler. To the left of the figures, a five-pointed star rendered in the colors of the American flag adds patriotic symbolism. A blue banner with gold lettering reading WRESTLER appears at the base of the colored insert. The legend ABRAHAM LINCOLN arcs across the upper border of the coin, while AN AMERICAN LIFE is inscribed along the lower border, both in raised lettering against the milled silver field, with five-pointed stars flanking the side margins. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' long-running series of small-denomination silver issues licensed through overseas distributors, this piece was produced for the collector market rather than any circulating monetary purpose — Cook Islands has used New Zealand currency for everyday transactions since 1995. The nominal face value bears no relationship to the coin's actual cost or silver content.
The wrestler subject places it within a broader run of themed releases that the issuing authority has used to generate seigniorage revenue from international collectors since the 1990s.
