The legend ELIZABETH II and COOK ISLANDS arcs across the upper field in two lines, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower margin of the rectangular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a full-length frontal image of a male figure rendered in high relief with antiqued finish, reproducing the negative photographic image associated with the Shroud of Turin, with hands folded across the torso and a faint cruciform halo visible above the head. The textured background simulates the woven linen pattern of the shroud cloth, lending the composition a striking three-dimensional quality. The legend SHROUD OF TURIN is inscribed along the upper border and the date 2020 appears along the lower border of the rectangular flan. |
