| Reverse description | A portrait of the British explorer Captain James Cook is depicted seated, gesturing with his right hand toward a navigational map resting across his knees. To the right, a mountainous island landscape is rendered in the field, including an erupting volcano. In the lower portion of the design, a traditional Melanesian outrigger canoe with sail and crew appears above coastal cliffs, while a period sailing vessel — generally identified as HMS Endeavour — is depicted in the lower field. The explorer's birth and death years flank his name in the upper legend, with the denomination below. |
