At the center, a detailed depiction of the Round Tower of Windsor Castle is prominently featured. The surrounding legend identifies each monarch by name and references the commemorative theme, with the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II', 'EDWARD VIII', 'GEORGE VI', and 'GEORGE V' placed adjacent to their respective portraits, along with 'ROUND TOWER WINDSOR CASTLE' and '100TH ANNIVERSARY HOUSE OF WINDSOR'. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau — three atolls with a combined land area under 12 square kilometers and no indigenous coinage tradition — has issued collector silver almost continuously since 2012, largely through arrangements with the New Zealand Mint. These pieces circulate nowhere and exist entirely for the numismatic market.
The House of Windsor name was adopted by royal proclamation in July 1917, a deliberate break from the dynastic name Saxe-Coburg and Gotha during peak anti-German sentiment in World War I. George V made the change under considerable political pressure, and the German branch of the family — the Battenbergs — simultaneously anglicized to Mountbatten.
