| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB visible below the bust. The date 2013 is divided across the field on either side of the portrait. The legend ELIZABETH II ~ TOKELAU arcs along the upper border, while the denomination ONE DOLLAR appears in the lower field. A small colorized depiction of the Tokelau flag is placed in the lower portion of the oval field, and the border is decorated with an intricate geometric latticework pattern. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no indigenous coinage tradition and no mint of its own — its collector issues are produced entirely for the numismatic market, administered through New Zealand. The "Prince of Wales" designation here refers to Charles's investiture title, held since 1969, making it one of the longer-running anticipatory honorifics in modern royal history.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at 62.2g is a format associated with budget-tier commemoratives aimed at bulk collectors rather than serious numismatic investors. The plating on these wears at contact points within years of handling.
