| Reverse description | A large, finely detailed depiction of a tuna fish occupies the lower half of the field, rendered in high relief with carefully engraved scales, fins, and surface texture, alluding to the importance of fisheries to the Cook Islands economy. The bold numeral 50 appears in the upper left of the field, with the acronym FAO inscribed immediately below it, referencing the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The engraver's initials JB are visible in the lower right field. The overall composition reflects the FAO coin programme's thematic focus on food production and sustainable resources. |
