| Beschrijving voorzijde | The upper portion of the rectangular flan bears a right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, as modeled by Ian Rank-Broadley, set within a circular reserve. Flanking the portrait, the legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'TOKELAU 2022' to the right in raised Latin characters arranged along the arc. Below the effigy appears a depiction of the Tokelau coat of arms accompanied by a scroll bearing the motto 'TOKELAU MO TE ATUA'. The denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' is prominently inscribed in the central field, followed by the purity specification '1/500 OZ FINE GOLD 999/1000'. The lower portion of the flan features a facsimile of Leonardo da Vinci's signature in cursive script above the legend 'MASTERPIECES'. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tokelau has become a vehicle for a sprawling range of novelty bullion issues — the atoll territory has no indigenous coinage tradition and its "mint authority" exists largely on paper, with production contracted to external facilities. This piece belongs to a series referencing Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings, specifically his late-15th-century studies of fetal development, which were themselves groundbreaking for depicting the uterus opened to show the fetus in accurate position — knowledge da Vinci derived from direct human dissection at a time when the Church formally prohibited it.
