| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS 1988 |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a bold bust of the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés in right profile, clad in period armour and an ornately engraved morion helmet, holding a sword. In the left field, two standing Aztec figures in traditional regalia are shown facing forward, evoking the encounter between Spanish and indigenous civilisations. The denomination '$50' appears to the right of Cortés's helmet, and the name 'HERNANDO CORTÉS' is inscribed in large letters along the upper arc of the legend. A decorative geometric border of alternating rectangular elements encircles the design, and the Franklin Mint mark 'FM' appears in the lower field. |
