| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and no indigenous currency tradition — these collector issues are produced entirely for the numismatic market, authorized by the territory's government as a revenue mechanism. The Year of the Pig series targets the Chinese lunar calendar collector base, a market that drove an enormous expansion of Pacific island mint programs through the 2010s. The trimetallic construction, with a plastic middle ring, is a deliberate anti-counterfeiting and novelty feature borrowed from technology developed for circulation coinage in the early 2000s.
