| Additional information |
Tokelau — three coral atolls with a combined land area of roughly 12 square kilometers and no indigenous coinage tradition whatsoever — has issued collector coins since 2012 under a New Zealand-administered program that uses the territory's name and nominal association with the Crown almost entirely as a vehicle for the bullion and numismatic gift market. This Tiger issue is part of the annual Lunar series targeting that collector segment, with mintage figures and distribution handled through external dealers rather than any local monetary authority.
