| Reverse description | High-relief, full-color depiction of the Marvel superhero Spider-Man in his iconic red-and-blue suit, scaled dynamically across a textured grey brick wall that fills the upper field of the coin. The figure is rendered in polychrome enamel with fine detail on the web-patterned costume and expressive white eye lenses. The lower portion of the field transitions to a black background bearing the stylized MARVEL logotype above the bold legend SPIDER-MAN in yellow and red lettering, with the film title HOMECOMING in a flowing script below. Fine print along the lower rim reads 1oz .999 FINE SILVER © MARVEL © 2017 CPII. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated as a prolific licensing partner for novelty bullion issues since the 1990s, and this piece falls squarely in that commercial program — struck to coincide with the 2017 Marvel Studios theatrical release. The underlying legal tender status is nominal; Cook Islands has no obligation to redeem these at face value, and the $5 NZD-linked denomination is a formality required for the legal instrument classification that makes international distribution viable.
Collector demand tracked closely with the film's release window and dropped sharply after it.
