| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara and draped bust, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The legend COOK ISLANDS and 5 DOLLARS appears above the portrait, while ELIZABETH II is inscribed below. The design is set within a hexagonal flan with reeded edges. The portrait follows the Ian Rank-Broadley tradition used on Commonwealth coinage from this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pope Benedict XVI was elected in April 2005 following the death of John Paul II, making 2006 his first full calendar year in office. Cook Islands issued a number of papal commemoratives during this period, part of a broader wave of Pacific island collector coinage that flooded the market in the mid-2000s — struck by European mints on contract and sold almost exclusively through the numismatic trade, never approaching the islands themselves.
