Obverse description At centre, a raised circular cartouche contains the right-facing bareheaded effigy of King Charles III, rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair and collar detail. The circular legend surrounding the portrait reads '25 DOLLARS · CHARLES III · 2025' above and '· COOK ISLANDS ·' below, with the designer's initials 'DT' visible at the lower right of the portrait. The broader field outside the cartouche is dominated by a dramatic high-relief sculptural composition depicting the haunches and powerful body of a tiger emerging from a background of tropical foliage, including large textured leaves rendered in fine detail against a frosted field.

Reverse description The reverse presents a monumental close-up portrait of a roaring tiger rendered in extraordinary high relief, occupying the right and upper portions of the field. The beast's open jaws, bared fangs, intense forward-gazing eyes, and radiating whiskers are captured with meticulous engraving detail against a frosted background. To the left, a stylised cartographic outline of East and Southeast Asia is engraved in the field, referencing the tiger's natural habitat. In the lower left quadrant, an ornate rectangular cartouche bears the legend 'KING OF THE EAST' in bold stylised lettering, with 'OF THE' appearing in smaller text between 'KING' and 'EAST'.
