| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, pearl drop earring, and necklace, as modelled by engraver Raphael David Maklouf (third portrait). The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left rim and 'COOK ISLANDS' along the upper right rim, with the date '1998' positioned at the base of the coin. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, consistent with proof-quality striking. |
