Obverse description The fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing portrait, crowned with the George IV State Diadem, with a draped bust truncated at the shoulder. The legend 'ELIZABETH II 5 DOLLARS COOK ISLANDS' arcs around the upper periphery, while the date '2007' appears in the lower field. The mirror-like proof fields provide strong contrast to the finely frosted relief of the portrait.

A film reel bearing the handwritten inscription 'Love me Tender' appears in the lower left field. The legend 'ELVIS KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL' arcs around the upper periphery, with the dates '1935 - 1977' inscribed along the lower border, and the engraver's initials 'AP' appear discreetly in the field.
