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. |

| 裏面の説明 | Highly detailed antiqued depiction of the Coyolxauhqui Stone, the celebrated Aztec monolith discovered at the Templo Mayor in Mexico City, rendered in deeply sculpted high relief as a convex circular disc set within a square border decorated with rows of skulls and Mesoamerican ornamental friezes. The central disc depicts the dismembered body of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, her limbs, headdress, and elaborate regalia arranged in dynamic radial composition. The legend COYOLXAUHQUI arcs along the upper rim, STONE along the lower rim, and the date 20 21 appears divided on either side of the square border. |

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.
