| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II 5 DOLLARS COOK ISLANDS 2016 |
| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a full-rigged clipper ship under billowing sails dominates the central field, rendered in fine engraved relief with exceptional attention to the rigging, masts, and swelling canvas. Dolphins leap in the foreground waves below the bow, while a second sailing vessel is visible in the left background on the horizon. The bold arc legend THE GREAT TEA RACE OF 1866 frames the design along the upper left and right periphery, with the secondary inscriptions BE THE FIRST TO DOCK IN LONDON and 150TH ANNIVERSARY 2016 appearing in smaller lettering to the left of the ship's hull. |
