| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing a diamond diadem and drop earring, with fine hair detail rendered in high relief. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left, 20 DOLLARS along the upper right, and COOK ISLANDS along the lower right of the field. The date 2022 appears in the lower exergual area, and the engraver's initials IRB are inscribed below the truncation. The coin is finished in antique style, giving the portrait a deeply toned, antiqued appearance. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief depiction of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, rendered in an antiqued finish. The god is portrayed as a massively built, bearded figure wearing a spiked crown and scale-textured armour, rising from a stormy seascape. He brandishes a large gold-coloured trident with ornate detailing in his right hand, while turbulent waves and lightning bolts fill the background field. A sailing ship in distress is visible in the middle distance to the right, emphasising Poseidon's dominion over the seas. The legend POSEIDON appears on a decorative cartouche in the lower exergue, flanked by ornamental anchors and a scallop shell motif. |
