| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted diademed and wearing a drop earring, with finely detailed coiffure. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the neck. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left rim and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right rim, while the denomination 20 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | Highly sculptural, ultra-high relief depiction of a stylized male portrait bust facing the viewer, rendered in a fragmented or shattering aesthetic — the face partially intact and gleaming with a mirror-polished finish, while the surrounding areas dissolve into scattered shards and debris radiating outward across the field. The contrast between the smooth, idealized facial features and the jagged, exploding fragments creates a dramatic three-dimensional effect. The date 2023 is inscribed in small characters along the upper left area of the field. |
