| Reverse description | Highly detailed, large-format depiction of a roaring lion's head in three-quarter view facing upper right, rendered in exceptional high relief with deeply sculpted mane strands radiating dramatically across the field. The open mouth reveals prominent fangs and teeth, while the mane's individual tufts and locks are meticulously engraved, creating strong contrasts accentuated by the antiqued finish. To the lower right of the design, the country abbreviation 'C I' (Cook Islands) appears in the field, accompanied by a small decorative seed or leaf motif beneath it. The plain field surrounding the lion's bust transitions smoothly into the darkened periphery, emphasising the sculptural prominence of the central device. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver dollars under New Zealand's monetary umbrella since the early 1970s, and Charles III coinage has been trickling through Commonwealth mints since his accession in September 2022 following the death of Elizabeth II — the longest-reigning British monarch at 70 years on the throne. Leon is the King's cocker spaniel, one of two dogs inherited from his mother's household after her death at Balmoral.
