| Reverse description | Full-colour printed portrait of Slovenian alpine ski racer Tina Maze, depicted in a fur hat and winter attire, raising her left hand to display a diamond-set ring by Lencia jewellers. The name 'TINA MAZE' is boldly inscribed in large letters across the upper field, with 'DIAMOND EDITION' in smaller lettering beneath it. Along the left periphery reads 'ALPINE SKI WORLD CUP WINNER 2012/13', and along the right 'WORLD RECORD 2414 POINTS'. A rendered diamond motif with the sponsor name 'LENCIA' appears in the left field, while the fineness and weight designation 'Ag999 1oz' is inscribed in the lower right field. A border of raised dots frames the design near the rim. |

| Additional information |
Tina Maze's 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics performance was statistically the most dominant in alpine skiing history — she accumulated more points in a single Olympic Games than any skier before her, taking gold in both the downhill and giant slalom. This Cook Islands issue was part of a broader wave of licensed athlete commemoratives produced through the New Zealand Mint, which held agreements with various national Olympic committees during the Sochi cycle. Cook Islands has no meaningful connection to alpine skiing; the issuing authority is essentially nominal, providing legal tender status to a product aimed squarely at the collector market.
