| Reverse description | Full-length depiction of Dobby the house-elf, a fictional character from the Harry Potter universe, rendered in fine detail at centre; the figure is shown standing in a slightly crouched posture, wearing a tattered pillowcase garment, with large pointed ears and expressive eyes. A diagonal lightning-bolt banner bearing the stylised legend Harry Potter appears in the upper field, surrounded by decorative leaf and vine motifs filling the corners and background. The name DOBBY is inscribed in the lower right corner of the field. The trademark and copyright notice TM & © WBEI (s20) appears along the left border. |

Part of a broad wave of licensed character bullion issues that flooded the market in the late 2010s, this piece was struck under Cook Islands' long-standing arrangement with the New Zealand Mint, which has produced collector coinage under Cook Islands authority since the 1970s. The country itself has no independent central bank; monetary policy is tied to New Zealand, making these issues legal tender in name only — a designation that carries no practical spending reality.
