| Beschrijving voorzijde | At center, a raised inner disk bears the diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, with the engraver's initials IRB below the truncation. The surrounding outer field features a high-relief sculpted scene of a family of bears — a large adult and two cubs — set against a naturalistic woodland background of trees. The circular legend on the inner disk reads ELIZABETH II to the left, 5 DOLLARS across the top, and COOK ISLANDS to the right, with the date 2022 at the base. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cook Islands has issued wildlife-themed silver rounds under its name since the 1990s, functioning largely as bullion products with nominal face values bearing no relation to actual monetary circulation. The Diamondback Terrapin — native to the brackish coastal marshes of the eastern United States — has no particular connection to the Cook Islands, which is standard practice for this category of licensed coinage produced primarily for the collector bullion market.
The terrapin was once hunted nearly to local extinction along the Atlantic seaboard, prized for turtle soup through the 19th and early 20th centuries.
