| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, as rendered by engraver Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field of the rectangular flan. The legend COOK ISLANDS and the denomination 5 DOLLARS appear in two lines above the effigy, while the sovereign's name ELIZABETH II is inscribed in capital letters below. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a polished mirror field, characteristic of proof coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Holy Face" devotion traces directly to the Veil of Veronica tradition, but the specific image used on devotional coins of this type typically derives from the Shroud of Turin's facial negative, which gained renewed scientific attention after the 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project examinations. Cook Islands has issued a substantial number of faith-themed numismatic pieces through licensed programs, most produced by foreign private mints with the islands functioning primarily as an issuing authority rather than an originating one.
KM#1304 sits in a crowded field of similar Cook Islands religious issues from the same period.
