| Reverse description | To the left of the field, a winged putto (Cupid) standing on a cloud, depicted in silver relief, draws a bow with an arrow aimed across the design. To the right, two large colour-printed roses are rendered in vivid applied colour: one in deep purple-blue in the upper position and one in bright red-orange below. The date 2008 appears in small numerals to the right of the roses, and the romantic inscription MY EVERLASTING LOVE is lettered in an elegant script at the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since the 1970s, though the islands' monetary relationship with New Zealand means these pieces circulate in name only. The "Everlasting Love" series was part of a broader early 2000s wave of themed collector issues produced for the gift and romance market, most struck by the Pobjoy Mint in Surrey under license.
KM#615 sees relatively light secondary-market activity, suggesting modest original mintage numbers or concentrated distribution through gift channels rather than numismatic dealers.
