| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Cook Islands gained self-governing status in free association with New Zealand in August 1965, but it took nearly a decade before the territory issued its own coinage in earnest. The 1973–1974 series was among the first substantive numismatic releases under that arrangement, and the Hervey Islands designation — an older colonial name for the Cook group, used by 19th-century cartographers — was a deliberate nod to that layered administrative history rather than a current geographic term.
KM#10 was struck in sterling-adjacent silver at a moment when most Pacific territories were abandoning precious metal coinage entirely. The timing was driven more by collector market demand than any circulating currency need.
