| Reverse description | A majestic male lion, rendered in high relief with finely detailed mane and musculature, is depicted seated in a proud, upright posture atop a rocky outcrop occupying the lower centre of the field. The animal faces slightly left with its gaze directed upward, its tail curling to the left with a darkened tuft at the tip. The background field is treated with a softly textured, toned finish evoking an atmospheric sky, lending depth and a naturalistic quality to the composition. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse. |

The "Pride" branding here is commercial, not royal — this belongs to a wave of licensed numismatic releases issued under Cook Islands authority specifically because the territory's arrangement with New Zealand allows it to produce legal tender coins primarily for the collector market rather than circulation. Charles III's accession in September 2022 triggered a predictable surge in such issues across Commonwealth-adjacent minting programs, most produced by private mints operating under contract.
