| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a right-facing bareheaded effigy of King Charles III in low relief at the lower center, engraved by Dan Thorne and signed with the initials 'DT' in the field. A ring of thirteen five-pointed stars encircles the inner field along the border. The dominant legend 'UNCOMMON VALOR WAS A COMMON VIRTUE' is inscribed in large bold letters across the upper field. To the lower left, a partial rendering of a star-spangled canton evokes the American flag, while a stylized flag stripe sweeps diagonally across the lower right field. The surrounding legend reads '25 DOLLARS · CHARLES III · COOK ISLANDS · SEMPER FIDELIS · 5 OZ .9999 AG', with the denomination and issuer distributed around the effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Battle of Iwo Jima ran from February 19 to March 26, 1945 — 36 days of fighting that produced more Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipients than any other single engagement in the war. Of the roughly 70,000 Marines who landed, nearly 7,000 were killed. The island had no strategic value beyond its airstrips, which American planners calculated would save B-29 crews flying the round trip from the Marianas to Japan.
Cook Islands has been a prolific issuer of high-relief silver commemoratives under the New Zealand-administered currency arrangement that gives it the legal standing to produce legal tender issues of this kind.
