| Reverse description | A full-color image of a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seated among snow-dusted bamboo shoots, occupying the right portion of the reverse field, rendered in vivid polychrome enamel. To the left, the same circular filigree cutout featuring a six-petal floral motif appears as a through-hole, consistent with the obverse cutout. The background field is a deep mirror-polished black, enhancing the contrast of the colored panda and green bamboo foliage. The legend GIANT PANDA is inscribed in raised letters arcing along the upper left of the field. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau — three coral atolls in the South Pacific with no land above three meters — has no indigenous coinage tradition whatsoever. Its collector issues are produced under license arrangements and struck by external mints, with New Zealand administering the territory's external affairs. The Giant Panda series piggybacks on the long-running Chinese Panda bullion franchise, deliberately targeting the same collector base while offering an alternative sovereign issuer at modest premiums.
KM#240 was struck at the Perth Mint under contract.
