| Obverse description | Central circular medallic panel bearing the right-facing effigy of King Charles III, rendered in low relief against a silk-finished gold-plated field. The surrounding legend reads '5 DOLLARS · CHARLES III · 2024 · COOK ISLANDS ·' encircling the portrait. The broader star-shaped flan is decorated with fine engraved radiating lines emanating from each of the five points, interspersed with scattered small five-pointed stars across the field, evoking a nocturnal celestial sky. A suspension hole is pierced at the apex of the uppermost point, indicating the piece's function as a wearable ornament. The overall design is executed in a uniform gold-plated silk finish throughout. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this five-pointed star-shaped flan features a large, centrally placed eight-pointed starburst motif executed in fine engraved line work, with radiating faceted rays converging to a small central star. The surrounding field is populated with scattered engraved five-pointed stars of varying sizes, creating a richly textured celestial nocturnal composition. Three inlaid transparent crystals are set symmetrically within the field, positioned at the upper centre, the left, and the lower right, adding dimensional brilliance to the design. Radiating sunburst motifs are engraved at each of the five star points, echoing the celestial theme. A suspension hole is pierced at the apex, consistent with the obverse, allowing the piece to be worn as a pendant ornament. |
