| Reverse description | The reverse presents an exceptionally detailed high-relief architectural rendering of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., depicted in full frontal elevation with its neoclassical portico, triangular pediment bearing a sculptural frieze of the Founding Fathers, and a colonnaded façade of Ionic columns flanking arched recesses. The standing bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson is rendered in miniature within the central intercolumniation, faithfully reproducing the memorial's interior. The curved legend 'JEFFERSON MEMORIAL' arcs along the upper border against a coffered archway, and the date '2026' appears vertically along the lower right margin. A broad flight of steps occupies the lower register, enhancing the three-dimensional architectural illusion of the composition. |

| Additional information |
The Jefferson Memorial coin series from Cook Islands has become a reliable vehicle for large-format silver commemoratives aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. Cook Islands' authority to issue legal tender is genuine under its free association with New Zealand, though coins of this weight and value never see a cash register in Avarua or anywhere else.
Charles III's appearance as issuing monarch on a 2026-dated piece reflects the standard transition from Elizabeth II across Commonwealth and associated territories — a process that began at her death in September 2022 and is still working through existing die and design contracts well into the mid-2020s.
