The background field is overlaid with a repeating typographic motif of the vessel's name SS SOPHIA JANE in varying scales, creating a striking decorative texture. The denomination $5 appears prominently to the right in large numerals. Below the vessel, in cursive script, the series inscription Ships that made Australia is engraved, with the fineness and weight statement 2 OUNCE 999 SILVER flanking a central compass-rose mintmark at the base. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sophia Jane was an Australian paddle steamer that in 1831 became the first steamship to arrive in New Zealand, reaching the Bay of Islands under Captain Peter Dillon. Cook Islands has issued numerous large-format silver pieces commemorating historic vessels under its maritime series, many struck at the Pobjoy Mint and distributed primarily through the collector market rather than through any circulation channel.
The two-ounce format places this squarely within the bullion-collectible crossover issues common to the late 1990s Pacific island licensing trade.
