| Opschrift voorzijde | ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS 2 DOLLARS |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed, three-dimensional rendering of a meteorite impact crater, with the central hole of the coin representing the point of deepest impact. Concentric rings of fractured, textured terrain radiate outward from the crater's core, faithfully replicating the geological aftermath of the Tamdakht meteorite strike. The surrounding field is deeply sculpted with a rough, irregular surface evoking fragmented rock and ejecta debris. The circumferential legend TAMDAKHT METEORITE STRIKE and geographic coordinates 31°09.9′N 07°02.3′W are inscribed along the periphery in a sans-serif typeface integrated into the textured design. The year 2016 appears in the lower field, completing the commemorative inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tamdakht meteorite fell on December 20, 2008, over the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco — one of the largest witnessed meteorite falls in recent history, with a recovered mass exceeding 100 kilograms. Cook Islands has issued a long-running series of meteorite coins that embed genuine fragments directly into the coin's surface, and this piece participates in that tradition. The fragment present here is authenticated Tamdakht H5 chondrite, an ordinary chondrite class distinguished by its shock-darkened texture from the violence of atmospheric entry.
