| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a pearl drop earring visible, after the portrait by Raphael David Maklouf. The truncation of the neck is sharply defined against the mirror-field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and COOK ISLANDS along the right, with the date 1991 positioned below the effigy along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) is depicted perched in three-quarter view on a leafy branch, its characteristic ear tufts, intricately engraved plumage, and talons rendered with naturalistic precision against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend ENDANGERED arcs along the upper left periphery, WILDLIFE descends along the right, and the denomination 50 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines along the lower portion of the field beneath the bird. The composition reflects the coin's place within the Endangered Wildlife commemorative series. |
