The bird is depicted with a wide open beak, expressive eyes, a pink flower tucked above its head, and stylized wings and claws. The textured background resembles a forest scene with tree trunks and foliage, while the Cyrillic inscription “Возвращение блудного попугая” arches along the upper rim. At the bottom, the word “Прелестно!” is engraved, adding a playful quote from the cartoon.

The obverse presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with crown and earrings, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and the year 2012.
