| Opschrift voorzijde | ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS RDM 1996 |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the traditional Polynesian Tainui catamaran under full sail, shown underway on stylized waves, with its characteristic double-hulled construction, a small deckhouse amidships, twin carved prow posts with pennants, and large billowing lateen-style sails filling the field. The vessel is rendered in fine detail highlighting its traditional Pacific seafaring design. The legend TAINUI CATAMARAN arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the denomination $5 appears in the lower exergue area beneath the hull. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tainui were among the great waka hourua — double-hulled voyaging canoes — that Māori oral tradition places in the founding migrations from Hawaiki to Aotearoa, most accounts dating the arrival around the 14th century. Cook Islands silver commemoratives of the 1990s frequently drew on Polynesian navigation themes, partly as a response to the broader Pacific cultural revival movement that had gained momentum since the 1976 voyage of the reconstructed Hokule'a from Hawaii to Tahiti — a crossing that reshaped scholarly understanding of deliberate trans-oceanic wayfinding.
