| Obverse description | Third-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Raphael David Maklouf, depicted in right-facing profile wearing the George IV State Diadem, drop earring, and a necklace. The engraver's initials RDM appear below the truncation of the bust. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and COOK ISLANDS along the right, with the date 1988 positioned in the lower exergue. The mirrored proof fields provide strong cameo contrast against the raised portrait. |
