| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic naval battle scene with multiple fully-rigged sailing warships engaged in combat, their sails billowing across the field. In the upper central area, a circular portrait medallion shows a uniformed bust of Admiral F.F. Ushakov facing slightly left, with his name inscribed below in Cyrillic. The curved legend referencing the Russo-Turkish War of 1787–1791 runs along the upper rim, while three lines of Cyrillic text in the lower exergue identify the Battle of Cape Kaliakria and its date of 31 July (11 August) 1791. |

| Additional information |
Suwarrow Atoll is an uninhabited coral atoll in the Cook Islands administered as a national park — it has no permanent population, no economy, and no meaningful connection to the Battle of Cape Kaliakra, a 1791 Black Sea engagement in which a Russian fleet under Ushakov routed the Ottomans. The coin exists entirely as a collectible product issued under a territorial licensing arrangement, a practice the Cook Islands dependency structure has enabled prolifically since the 1990s.
