| Obverse description | A large high-relief bust of Abraham Lincoln facing slightly right dominates the field, rendered in fine engraved detail with a scroll banner inscribed LINCOLN below his portrait. In the lower left, an inset circular cameo depicts the diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, surrounded by the legends ELIZABETH II, 2 DOLLARS, and COOK ISLANDS, with the date 2022 below and the engraver's initials IRB visible beneath the portrait. A ring of thirteen five-pointed stars arcs along the upper periphery of the main field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since the 1970s, despite having no independent central bank — New Zealand dollars circulate in practice, making these pieces currency in name only. The "Friendship" series targets the collector market directly, with no meaningful domestic circulation ever intended.
