| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed multi-layered composition on an oval flan depicting the Resurrection of Christ. A central scene rendered in gold-toned relief shows the risen Christ emerging from the tomb, flanked by angels and witnesses, with radiating beams of light extending across the field. A Latin cross inlaid with crystal Swarovski elements occupies the lower foreground in gold-plated relief, its centre set with a clear baguette crystal. An amber-coloured Swarovski crystal is set at the apex of the coin. The inscription 'EASTER 2012' appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver dollars under its own authority since the 1970s, a revenue arrangement that has little to do with local commerce and everything to do with the international collector market. The Easter series sits squarely in that tradition — produced for overseas sale, never intended to circulate on Rarotonga.
KM#1979 is one of several thematically grouped issues from the same year, sharing a production run distributed across specialist dealers in Europe and North America.
