| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, engraved by IRB, occupying a recessed central disc. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above left and COOK ISLANDS above right within the inner field, with the denomination 5 DOLLARS inscribed below the portrait. Surrounding the central disc is a broad raised outer border decorated in relief with repeating millefiori-inspired motifs — stylised floral rosettes, four-pointed star forms, and concentric circles — enamelled in deep red and navy blue against the polished silver ground, echoing the Venetian glass art theme of the series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centres on a heart-shaped aperture set with genuine murrine millefiori glass canes displaying intricate floral cross-sections in red, white, and blue. Two overlapping heart outlines in relief frame the glass insert within the polished silver field. The inscriptions MURRINE and GLASS ART arc along the left and right respectively, with MILLEFIORI rendered in a decorative typographic style across the upper field. The date 2016 appears in the lower exergue. The broad outer border is inlaid with a continuous ring of blue and white millefiori glass canes, each exhibiting a dark blue floral motif with a red centre, set against a cobalt blue glass ground. |
