| Obverse description | The obverse features a central circular cartouche bearing the diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB truncated at the neck. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left, 5 DOLLARS along the top, and COOK ISLANDS along the right of the inner circle, with the date 2021 appearing in the lower field below the portrait. Surrounding the central cartouche, the broader field is elaborately decorated in high relief with a naturalistic scene depicting raptors — one perched on a nest-laden tree branch at left with chicks, and another in dynamic flight at upper right clutching a fish in its talons — set against a backdrop of detailed foliage and rocky terrain rendered in fine milled relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-color circular insert at center depicting three Appaloosa horses — a mare, a stallion, and a foal — standing in an open Idaho prairie landscape beneath a blue sky, rendered with photographic color printing. Above the color insert, a five-pointed star bearing the American flag motif is flanked by a blue banner inscribed IDAHO, while a corresponding blue banner inscribed APPALOOSA appears below. The outer border of the coin is engraved in milled relief with the arc legends AMERICAN STATE ANIMALS along the upper field, separated by a ring of small stars, with stylized mountainous and floral landscape elements framing the composition in the silver border. |
