| Obverse description | Crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Diamond Diadem and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field, 5 DOLLARS along the upper right, and COOK ISLANDS along the right. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation, with the date 2014 in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a large yin-yang symbol occupying the entire field, with the two interlocking teardrop sections each containing a stylised animal rendered in a bold tribal art style. The upper-left light section depicts a caribou in dynamic pose, its antlers and body formed by flowing, interlocking curves. The lower-right dark section features a wolf in a crouching stance, similarly rendered in tribal graphic style. Two circular dots—one in each complementary section—complete the classical yin-yang composition. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
