| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II 5 DOLLARS COOK ISLANDS IRB 2017 |
| Reverse description | A highly detailed, ultra-high relief depiction of a Goliath beetle (Goliathus sp.) occupies the central field of the reverse, rendered in bright polished silver finish and shown from a dorsal perspective with forelegs, mandibles, and segmented legs rendered with exceptional naturalistic precision. The beetle is set against a smooth gold-plated inner field, encircled by a border of stylised swirling scroll ornamental motifs in gold-plated relief, echoing the decorative treatment of the obverse. The series inscription BEYOND THE WORLD is engraved in small Latin capitals along the lower exergue beneath the central device. |
