The denomination '$5' is inscribed in the lower exergue. Small decorative symbols accent the field around the central motif. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the broader wave of fractional gold bullion pieces that flooded the market after spot prices made full-ounce coins inaccessible to casual buyers, this Cook Islands piece carries legal tender status under a longstanding arrangement that allows the island government to license its name and royal portrait rights to private mints — primarily the Austrian Mint and various European refiners — without those coins ever circulating domestically.
