| Additional information |
At 0.0622 g, this is a fractional gold piece so small it sits at the technical boundary of what modern minting equipment can produce with any consistency. Tokelau — a New Zealand dependent territory of three atolls with a population under 1,500 — has no domestic mint and issues coins purely as a revenue instrument, with production contracted to private minting firms.
