| Reverse description | Three chubby winged cherubs (cupids) from the Disney animated feature 'Fantasia' are depicted in full color, peering over a rustic wooden branch in a playful composition. The cherubs display varying hair colors — brown, blonde, and pink — rendered in vibrant polychrome against a warm background. Above the central figure, the stylized 'Disney' script logo and the bold inscription 'FANTASIA' appear in the upper field, flanked by engraved laurel sprigs. The numerals '80' with 'YEARS' below commemorate the 80th anniversary of the film, while the copyright notice '©DISNEY' is inscribed in the upper right field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative coinage under New Zealand's administration since 1972, with legal tender status but virtually no domestic circulation — these pieces are produced entirely for the collector market. This particular issue is iron-core with silver plating rather than solid silver, a cost-reduction approach that became increasingly common among Pacific island commemorative programs as bullion prices rose through the 2010s.
