| Reverse description | A frontal view of a Texas Longhorn steer dominates the central field, rendered in high relief against a stylised Texan landscape featuring cacti, rock formations, and additional cattle in the background. A decorative banner at the lower portion of the design bears the inscription LONGHORN, while an arching legend at the top reads AMERICAN STATE ANIMALS. A rectangular panel inscribed TEXAS appears above the central motif, flanked by a five-pointed star badge bearing the American flag design to the right. |

| Additional information |
Part of the extended "Longhorn" bullion series issued under Cook Islands' licensing arrangements, this fractional struck in four-nines gold serves the sub-gram market that expanded sharply after 2015 as spot prices pushed smaller investors toward fractional product. Cook Islands has no independent monetary policy; its currency relationship with New Zealand means these issues are legal tender in name only, a technicality that satisfies certification requirements without any expectation of circulation.
