| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, engraved after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field. The legend ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed in the lower field beneath the portrait. The polished proof field provides strong contrast to the finely detailed effigy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed battle scene commemorating the Campagne de France of 1814. In the foreground, a fully colored enamel inset depicts Napoleon Bonaparte mounted on a rearing horse, rendered in the manner of Jacques-Louis David's iconic equestrian portrait, with a billowing red cloak. Behind this colored central motif, a relief scene in silver shows Napoleon astride a walking horse surrounded by columns of infantry troops. The legend NAPOLEON BONAPARTE 1769-1821 curves along the upper periphery, with CAMPAGNE DE FRANCE inscribed in two lines above the lower exergue, and the date 2009 appearing at the base flanked by decorative laurel sprigs. |
