| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara with a pearl drop earring visible. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear in small lettering below the truncation of the bust. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left rim and '5 DOLLARS' along the upper rim, with 'COOK ISLANDS' along the right rim, all in raised capital letters. The date '2015' is inscribed at the bottom of the field. The coin displays a mirror-like proof finish throughout the field. |

Tina Maze's 2014–15 season was, statistically, the most dominant in alpine skiing history — she accumulated more World Cup points in a single season than any skier before her, male or female. This coin was issued the same year she retired from competitive racing, making it effectively a retirement tribute dressed as a commemorative.
Cook Islands has long issued bullion-weight silver pieces under licensing arrangements with foreign sports and entertainment properties, with little connection to the territory itself beyond the issuing authority.
