| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted with an elaborate coiffure adorned with a tiara, wearing a draped neckline. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right, with the date 2003 positioned in the lower exergue. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, consistent with the Ian Rank-Broadley style of the fourth effigy. |

| Reverse description | Central bust of Vincent van Gogh facing slightly left, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a loosely draped jacket with a beard and mustache, rendered in fine detail in high relief.

The legend VINCENT VAN GOGH arcs along the upper field, with the birth year 1853 at the left and death year 1890 at the right. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower field. The design is enclosed by a beaded border along the coin's inner rim. |
