| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field of the dome-shaped flan. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the portrait along the upper border, while the inscriptions COOK ISLANDS and 5 DOLLARS appear in two lines across the lower field. The engraver's initials IRB are visible below the truncation of the bust. The mirrored proof fields provide a sharp contrast to the finely detailed portrait. |
