| Obverse description | The obverse features a central inset coin bearing the diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, with the legend ELIZABETH II to the left and COOK ISLANDS to the right, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS below. Surrounding this inner coin, the main field depicts a detailed relief of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, centrally positioned before an unfurling American flag whose stars and stripes extend across the full field. The inscription HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD is engraved on the face of the tomb's sarcophagus. A border of raised five-pointed stars encircles the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a neoclassical architectural structure — rendered in the style of the Trophy of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — framed by three draped figures in relief between its columns, evoking themes of honor and mourning. A large olive wreath, tied at the apex, frames the entire composition. A rectangular cartouche below the structure bears the bold legend HONOR GUARD in two lines. At the base of the field, the Scottsdale Mint monogram appears within a small wreath cartouche, flanked by the date 2022. |
