| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the centre of the polished oval field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left rim and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right rim, both in raised capital letters. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower exergual area. The coin's irregular oval silhouette, with a distinctive notch at the top, frames the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a gilt high-relief depiction of the twin-towered Frauenkirche of Munich occupying the right portion of the field, with the papal coat of arms of Benedict XVI rendered in gilt relief at centre. To the left, five inset baguette-cut Swarovski crystals — alternating blue and clear — are each paired with the name of a Bavarian city visited during the papal journey: MÜNCHEN, ALTÖTTING, REGENSBURG, MARKTL, and FREISING. The Latin motto QUI CREDIT, NUMQUAM EST SOLUM. arcs along the upper rim, and the inscription BENEDICTUS PP. XVI IN BAVARIAM MMVI curves along the lower rim. |
