| Reverse description | A large polished black oil droplet dominates the centre of the composition, set against a panoramic scene evoking the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (Yugra). To the left, traditional conical chum tents, reindeer, a sledge with a figure, and stylised Siberian pine trees are depicted; to the right, an oil derrick and a nodding-donkey pump jack with pipeline infrastructure are rendered in fine detail against a wintry sky. The Yugra regional logo and the Cyrillic legend ЮГРА appear in the lower centre, with the date 2010 inscribed at the very bottom of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' long-running Pacific Wildlife series, this issue was struck at a moment when the global offshore drilling industry was dominating headlines — the Deepwater Horizon blowout occurred the same year, April 2010, making any petroleum-themed release from that calendar year quietly awkward in retrospect.
