To the left, an engraved architectural rendering of the Barclays Center arena tower serves as a background motif. The Upper Deck registered trademark logo appears prominently at the lower left, flanked by the player's name JOHN TAVARES and the purity and weight inscriptions arcing along the upper left. A serialized edition number within a cartouche is struck at the lower centre of the field. |

| Additional information |
John Tavares was captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs when this coin was issued in 2017 — though he was still under contract with the New York Islanders at the time, having not yet signed with Toronto. Cook Islands has functioned for decades as a licensing vehicle for third-party commemorative programs, with its nominal sovereignty allowing foreign minting houses to attach royal portraiture to collectibles that have no practical circulation life.
