| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, sculptural close-up of an astronaut's helmet and upper spacesuit, rendered in high relief against a honeycomb-patterned background occupying the upper right field. The visor of the helmet is depicted with a convex, mirror-like polished finish. The lower portion of the field shows the textured fabric and equipment of the spacesuit's chest, including a mission patch bearing the inscription ASTRONAUT RESEARCH EXPLORER and the designation 9K496. The CIT mint logo appears to the upper right, and the incuse legend THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT is inscribed along the left border of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated one of the most commercially aggressive licensing programs in modern numismatics, issuing gold and silver pieces under its authority while physical production and distribution run entirely through third-party private mints — a legal arrangement that has drawn scrutiny but remains uncontested under its monetary agreements with New Zealand.
