| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design features a naturalistically rendered Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) in full stride facing right, set against a stylized Southwestern desert landscape with cacti and distant mountains in the field. A five-pointed star device appears above and to the left of the bird. The central motif is framed by a curved banner inscribed NEW MEXICO at the top and GREATER ROADRUNNER along the lower arc, within a decorative border of small stars. The surrounding legend AMERICAN STATE ANIMALS arcs along the upper rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the "Mini Gold" series produced for Cook Islands by the Pobjoy Mint successor operations, these fractional gold pieces were designed primarily for the collector market in an era when sub-gram gold coins surged in popularity as accessible entry points into precious metal collecting. The Greater Roadrunner — a bird native to the American Southwest and Mexico, with no particular connection to the Pacific — is an odd choice for a Cook Islands issue, reflecting the purely commercial logic behind the series rather than any numismatic or geographic rationale.
