The composition evokes an environmental conservation theme. The curved legend PROTECT OUR WORLD arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands issued a wave of wildlife-themed commemoratives in the early 1990s through licensing arrangements with foreign coin marketing firms — most destined for collector sets rather than any circulation at all. This is one of dozens from that program, struck in half-silver to keep production costs low against a retail price pitched heavily at the gift market.
