| Reverse description | A highly detailed, colorized aerial view of Mount Kilimanjaro dominates the entire field, rendered with striking relief to evoke the mountain's volcanic crater and radiating ridgelines. The color application employs naturalistic tones of brown, green, and grey to simulate the mountain's vegetation zones and snow-capped summit crater. The inscription KILIMANJARO 5895m – Eastern Rift Mountains, East Africa curves along the upper rim in incuse lettering. The logo THE 7 SUMMITS with the year 2019 is displayed in the lower central field, identifying this coin as part of the celebrated seven-summits series issued by CIT. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since the 1970s, leveraging a constitutional free-association arrangement with New Zealand that grants it full control over coinage while maintaining no independent central bank. The Kilimanjaro issue belongs to a long-running geography-themed series produced almost entirely for the collector market — no piece of this size and weight ever entered circulation anywhere.
At 155.5 grams, this is a five-troy-ounce format, a standard bullion increment adopted by several Pacific island issuers in the 2010s to compete directly with Perth Mint and Royal Canadian Mint products at the premium collector tier.
