背面描述	Two colored macaque monkeys perched on a leafy branch occupy the central field, rendered in naturalistic polychrome enamel with green foliage to the left. The denomination 50¢ appears in the upper right field. The Chinese character 猴 (meaning 'monkey') is displayed in the lower center field below the branch, and the legend 2004 Monkey arcs along the lower portion of the coin. The design is framed by a beaded border.

附加信息	Cook Islands has issued commemorative coinage under New Zealand's monetary framework since the early 1970s, with many issues targeted squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. The 2004 Lunar New Year series falls firmly into that category — produced for the Year of the Monkey, the ninth animal in the twelve-year cycle, which began February 22, 2004. The copper-nickel composition at this weight mirrors the standard used for many Pacific island commemoratives of the period, sourced through contracted mints rather than any domestic facility.
