| Reverse description | Central field features a colorized photographic portrait of American actor Gregory Peck, rendered in monochrome tones within a rectangular frame evoking a classic film still, with a stylized filmstrip motif along the lower border. The curved legend HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS arcs around the upper periphery, flanked by star ornaments. To the right, a five-pointed star with a motion picture camera in relief alludes to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The photographer's credit Bernard Hollywood™ appears in script within the image, the date 2013 is inscribed to the lower right of the field, and the name GREGORY PECK is lettered in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Gregory Peck's inclusion in this Cook Islands celebrity series traces back to no particular monetary or political rationale — the islands have issued licensed commemorative silver for decades under arrangements that funnel revenue to the territory while the coins themselves circulate nowhere. Peck died in 2003, so this appeared a decade after his death, timed to nothing in particular.
