| Reverse description | Central depiction of two athletes paddling a kayak at speed, rendered in high relief against a textured field suggestive of churning water. A stylised volcanic mountain rises in the background, evoking the Tokyo 2020 Olympic setting. The composition is framed by ornate decorative borders incorporating floral and fan motifs on either side. The legend OLYMPIC arcs along the upper periphery in a distinctive serif typeface, while the denomination 1 DOLLAR is inscribed in two lines at the lower centre of the field. |

| Additional information |
Pobjoy Mint, operating independently from the Royal Mint, has produced coins for smaller territories and client states since the 1960s — this issue falls into a long line of commemorative dollars struck for island dependencies whose domestic circulation needs are modest and whose coin programs are largely collector-driven. The 2019 Olympic series predates Tokyo 2020 by a year, timed for pre-Games commercial release rather than any issuance tied to athletic results.
