| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a monumental high-relief depiction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa occupying the right-centre of the field, its characteristic southward inclination faithfully rendered with exceptional sculptural detail across each of its eight arcaded marble tiers. The left field features an engraved panoramic view of the Piazza dei Miracoli complex, showing the colonnaded arcades of the Camposanto and surrounding structures in lower relief, serving as a richly detailed architectural backdrop. The commemorative inscription 650 YEARS and the numerals 1372 - 2022 appear in the lower left field, marking the 650th anniversary of the tower's completion. The legend LEANING TOWER OF PISA arcs along the upper rim. The antiqued treatment contrasts the dark field against polished gold highlights, accentuating the exceptional relief of the architectural rendering. |

Cook Islands has operated one of the more prolific bullion and collector-issue programs in the Pacific, leveraging its currency relationship with New Zealand to issue legal tender struck by outside mints — this piece almost certainly produced by a European private mint rather than any sovereign facility. The Leaning Tower series belongs to a broader wave of shaped and architectural gold issues that flooded the collector market through the late 2010s and early 2020s, largely targeting the Asian gift and investment market.
The tower itself began its famous tilt during construction in 1173, a foundation problem in soft subsoil that engineers spent the following eight centuries failing to fully correct until a stabilization project concluded in 2001.
