| Beschrijving keerzijde | A three-quarter length portrait bust of Captain James Cook faces slightly left, depicted in 18th-century naval attire with a high collar and coat. To the lower left, a circular cameo vignette displays a navigational cross-staff or sextant instrument, referencing Cook's celebrated achievements in maritime exploration and cartography. The legend CAPTAIN JAMES COOK arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border. The design is executed in frosted relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney's legal tender commemoratives are struck under licence and distributed almost entirely outside the island itself — the population of roughly 2,000 has little use for a £5 silver proof. Cook's 1768 departure aboard HMS Endeavour on his first Pacific voyage was commissioned by the Royal Society primarily to observe the transit of Venus from Tahiti, the Admiralty's geographic ambitions being officially secondary and conveniently deniable.
