| Obverse description | The obverse features a circular central device set within a rectangular gold field, displaying the right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the Jody Clark portrait. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left and TOKELAU 2022 along the upper right of the circular device. Below the portrait, the Tokelauan national emblem — a traditional faifeau (pulpit) bearing a cross — is depicted, accompanied by the motto scroll TOKELAU MO TE ATUA. Beneath the circular device, in the lower portion of the rectangular field, the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed in bold relief, flanked on the left by a heart-shaped paw print motif, with the fineness specification 1/500 OZ FINE GOLD 999/1000 inscribed below. |

| Additional information |
At 0.0622 g, this falls into the "mini gold" category pioneered by the Perth Mint and quickly adopted by Pacific island issuing authorities seeking collector revenue — Tokelau, with no independent mint and a population under 2,000, licenses its coinage program entirely through external minting arrangements. These fractional issues are legal tender in name only; no transaction infrastructure exists in Tokelau to accept them.
