| Obverse description | Central recessed field features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, with the legend ELIZABETH II arcing to the left and 5 DOLLARS arcing above, COOK ISLANDS to the right, and the date 2023 in the lower exergue. The central portrait is framed by an elaborate high-relief sculptural surround depicting multiple lion paws with extended claws radiating outward in a bold three-dimensional design, set against an intricately engraved background of spiralling and geometric decorative motifs. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the portrait. The overall composition combines a traditional coin format with a dramatic sculptural presentation. |
