Князь Александр Невский” and the date 2011 appear below.

The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in profile, wearing a crowned diadem, with the inscriptions “COOK ISLANDS,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “ELIZABETH II” against a mirror-like proof field. Alexander Nevsky (1221–1263) was a prince and military leader, famous for his victories in the Battle of the Neva and on the Ice, and later canonized as a saint and protector of the nation. Struck in fine silver in Proof quality, this issue belongs to the Patron Saints series and is highly collectible for its religious theme and vivid iconography.
