Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2017 Cook Islands $2 Elizabeth II (Ares) silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases the mythological figure of Ares, the Greek god of war, in a modern and stylized interpretation. The design is the work of artist Joel Iskowitz, who is known for his innovative and imaginative coin designs. The coin's obverse, or front side, features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse, or back side, depicts Ares standing on a rocky cliff, with his armor and weapons at the ready, surrounded by flames and smoke. The design is meant to symbolize the power and strength of the mythological god, and it adds a unique touch to the coin's overall aesthetic appeal.
