A decorative border of raised dots frames the central design, with a stylized landmine warning symbol visible in the lower field. The legend FIGHTING LANDMINES arches across the upper rim, and the inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD curves along the lower portion of the inner border. |

| Additional information |
The "Fighting Landmines" release belongs to a broader Cook Islands humanitarian series issued in collaboration with European minting houses — a format that has become a reliable revenue mechanism for Pacific island jurisdictions whose legal tender programs exist almost entirely for the collector market. Cook Islands has no meaningful domestic coin circulation; its numismatic output is effectively a licensing operation.
At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, the actual metal content is fractional enough that premiums over spot dominate the transaction entirely.
