| 背面描述 | The central field depicts the balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki under full sail on the open sea, with a figure standing on the deck rendered in fine relief. To the left, a circular inset medallion portrait of Thor Heyerdahl is superimposed over the scene. The denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed vertically at the right. The legend THOR HEYERDAHL arcs along the upper periphery and KON-TIKI along the lower border, both in raised Latin lettering against the polished proof field. |

Heyerdahl's 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition — 101 days, 4,300 miles of open Pacific on a balsa-wood raft — was mounted specifically to prove that pre-Columbian South Americans could have settled Polynesia by drifting west on the Humboldt Current. Most professional anthropologists of the time considered the idea fringe. The raft made landfall on Raroia reef in the Tuamotu Archipelago, and the expedition film won the 1952 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.
Cook Islands issued this piece in 2002, the year after Heyerdahl's death at 87.
