| Obverse description | A large, highly detailed high-relief portrait of Benjamin Franklin facing three-quarters right dominates the field, rendered in a painterly sculptural style with flowing shoulder-length hair. Inset at the lower left is a smaller circular cameo effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crowned diadem, the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait facing right, surrounded by the legends ELIZABETH II and COOK ISLANDS arcing around the cameo, with 2 DOLLARS above and the date 2021 below. A ring of thirteen six-pointed stars borders the upper and left portions of the field, referencing the American founding. The name FRANKLIN appears on a ribbon scroll at the base of the large portrait, and the engraver's initials IRB appear beneath the Queen's effigy. |
