| Reverse description | A right-facing profile portrait of Captain James Cook dominates the centre of the field, with the engraver's initials JB visible at the truncation. To the left, a detailed rendering of H.M.S. Resolution under full sail occupies the upper quadrant. Below the portrait, a cartographic depiction of the Hervey Islands (Manuae) is inscribed with the atoll names Manuae and Te Au O Tu and geographic coordinates. To the right of the portrait, a star device accompanies the date Sept. 23 1773. The circumferential legend BICENTENARY·COOK'S DISCOVERY OF HERVEY ISLANDS arcs across the upper field, while SEVEN AND A HALF DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower border. |
