| Reverse description | A centrally placed, gold-plated Christmas tree dominates the oval field, its branches adorned with inset red and green Swarovski crystal ornaments. The background depicts a winter landscape in fine relief, featuring a snow-covered forest, a distant cottage, reindeer to the right, and an array of large snowflake motifs filling the upper field. The inscription CHRISTMAS arcs along the lower border in a serif display font, with the date 2013 beneath it. |

Cook Islands has leaned heavily on the commemorative market since the 1970s, when it became one of the first Pacific island nations to systematically issue collector coinage as a revenue stream rather than for genuine circulation. This Christmas issue is part of that ongoing program — produced for the numismatic gift market and almost certainly never spent on anything.
