The obverse features the elegant right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown, earrings, and necklace. The surrounding legend reads “ELIZABETH II • TWO DOLLARS • COOK ISLANDS • 2006,” framed by a classic beaded rim and mirrored proof fields.

The reverse presents a finely detailed color image of Alexander Blok in a blue suit with a bow tie, set against a soft sky-blue background. Encircling inscriptions include “POETS OF THE SILVER AGE,” “1 OZ,” “999 SILVER,” and “Alexander Blok.” The contrast between frosted relief and polished surfaces enhances the depth of the artistic design.
