| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials 'IRB' appear below the neck truncation. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left field and 'COOK ISLANDS' along the right, both in raised Latin lettering. The denomination '20 DOLLARS' is inscribed in the lower exergue. The portrait is set against a partially frosted field with a subtle tonal shadow effect to the right. |

| Reverse description | A full-colour reproduction of Francisco de Goya's painting 'Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane' occupies the central field, depicting a kneeling Christ in white and dark robes with arms outstretched and a golden halo, while an angel descends from the upper left bearing a chalice. The coloured panel is framed by sixteen inset black Swarovski crystals arranged symmetrically on either side, set within an elaborately engraved architectural border rendered in the Baroque manner, evoking a grand museum façade. The legend 'MASTERPIECES OF ART' arcs along the upper border, while 'FRANCISCO DE GOYA' appears in raised lettering along the lower border, with the year '2020' inscribed centrally beneath the central image. |
