| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB visible on the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left and TOKELAU 2019 along the upper right, framed by an intricate geometric border of interlaced diamond and crosshatch motifs in the Tokelauan decorative tradition. The denomination ONE DOLLAR appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. At the bottom of the field, a traditional Tokelauan woven basket motif is depicted, accompanied by the inscription TOKELAU TE ATUA in a small cartouche. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a vivid full-color depiction of Frankenstein's monster, rendered in green and blue tones, shown as a menacing half-length figure with characteristic flat-topped head, surgical scars, and neck bolts, his large hands clasped before him amid crackling electrical energy at the lower margin. The surrounding gold-plated border is elaborately decorated with steampunk-inspired motifs including mechanical gears at the base, a skull, scientific laboratory equipment, and a serpentine creature at the left, evoking the gothic horror and scientific experimentation themes of Mary Shelley's novel. The legend FRANKENSTEIN arcs in bold, irregular lettering along the upper border. |
