| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief rendering of Federal Hall National Memorial on Wall Street, New York, its neoclassical Doric colonnade and broad staircase depicted in fine detail against a black enameled field. A standing bronze statue of George Washington is shown prominently at the base of the steps, and an American eagle with outstretched wings appears in relief at the lower exergue, accompanied by a mint master's monogram in a shield below. The colored American flag flies above the building at upper right. The legends GEORGE WASHINGTON and Father of his Country appear in the upper left field, the date 2021 arcs across the upper border, and a ring of stars encircles the entire composition within the darkened rim. |

| Additional information |
This coin belongs to a genre of large-format silver issues that Cook Islands has produced in volume since the 1990s — nominally legal tender under Cook Islands authority, but manufactured and marketed entirely for the collector trade, with no circulation intent whatsoever. The denomination bears no relation to any local economy.
Washington's inclusion follows a long series of Cook Islands commissions pairing foreign iconography with a Pacific island face value — a fiscal arrangement that generates licensing and minting revenue while the islands themselves see none of the coins.
