| Reverse description | Full-length coloured depiction of Boniface, the anthropomorphic lion protagonist of the classic Soviet animated film, rendered in polychrome enamel. He is dressed in a blue-and-white striped sailor's shirt and shorts, holding a fishing net on a long pole in one hand and a bucket in the other, with a surfboard bearing a goldfish motif leaning against him. To the right, three stylised children figures appear in relief, while tropical palm trees, birds, and decorative splashes fill the silver field in the background. The Cyrillic title legend КАНИКУЛЫ БОНИФАЦИЯ arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the Soyuzmultfilm studio trademark appears in Cyrillic along the lower left rim. |

| Additional information |
The "Boniface's Vacation" piece is part of a broader Cook Islands licensed series leaning heavily on animated intellectual property — a category that expanded sharply after the mid-2000s as small Pacific island mints competed for the collector novelty market. Cook Islands has no meaningful connection to the subject matter; the territory functions here purely as a licensing and issuing vehicle, a role it shares with dozens of similar themed releases from the same period.
