| Obverse description | Diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right occupies the upper portion of the field, with the legend 'ELIZABETH II' to the left, '20 DOLLARS' above, and 'COOK ISLANDS' to the right, arranged in a circular arc. The date '2017' appears below the portrait in the field. Dominating the lower and central field is a highly detailed, three-dimensional depiction of the Graf Zeppelin airship (registration D-LZ127) in flight, rendered with selective color highlighting on its hull. In the lower foreground, a finely engraved Arctic landscape is depicted, featuring a polar bear resting among ice floes and snow-capped mountains in the background. A small inset rectangular panel, suggestive of a postage stamp vignette, appears in the upper right quadrant of the field. |
