| Reverse description | Central design features the Norwegian tall ship Christian Radich depicted under full sail in gilt relief, sailing on stylised waves against a mirror-polished field. To the left, a circular medallion portrait of a bearded gentleman inscribed 'CHRISTIAN RADICH' surrounds the image, while to the right the Statue of Liberty and a city skyline are visible in the background. Seagulls in flight appear above the vessel. A banner ribbon at the top of the field bears the legend 'CHRISTIAN RADICH', and a second inscription 'CHRISTIAN RADICH' appears within the circular portrait surround at left. |

| Additional information |
The Radich series, issued through the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Cook Islands, is part of a broader wave of licensed commemorative coinage that Cook Islands has used as a revenue mechanism since the 1970s — the islands themselves having no significant domestic coin circulation. KM# 1007 places this squarely within a collector-targeted program rather than anything approaching general issue.
