| Aversbeschreibung | Left-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The portrait is set to the left of the field, which is dominated by a bold background of concentric circular lines interspersed with an intricate arrangement of ancient Mesoamerican glyphs and symbolic motifs rendered in high relief. The legend ELIZABETH II • COOK ISLANDS arcs along the upper rim, while the inscription ARCHAEOLOGY & SYMBOLISM runs vertically along the right field, and the denomination 20 DOLLARS appears along the lower rim. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Coyolxauhqui Stone was discovered in Mexico City in February 1978 by electrical workers digging near the Zócalo — an accidental find that directly triggered the systematic excavation of the Templo Mayor, the great Aztec ceremonial precinct that colonial-era construction had buried for four centuries. The carved monolith depicts the dismembered moon goddess after her brother Huitzilopochtli killed and disassembled her body, and it originally lay at the base of the temple's staircase so that sacrificial victims would tumble down onto her image.
Cook Islands has no cultural connection to Mesoamerica; the island's licensing arrangements make it one of the most prolific issuers of third-party themed bullion in the Pacific region.
