| Obverse description | At upper centre, set within a sunken circular depression framed by a laurel wreath, appears the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley, with the legend ELIZABETH II to the left, COOK ISLANDS to the right, the denomination 5 DOLLARS above, and the date 2023 below, all within the inset. Surrounding this central portrait in high relief, the main field depicts a dynamic Spartan war chariot scene: a helmeted warrior in full panoply stands at left aboard the chariot, accompanied by a charioteer who controls a quadriga of rearing horses surging to the right. The architectural background features a stylised Greek colonnade with fluted columns and decorative frieze bands, rendered in alternating matte and polished surfaces. |
