| Obverse description | The Royal coat of arms of Tonga is centrally depicted within a raised circular border, featuring the quartered shield with a crown, a dove, crossed swords, and three stars, flanked by two supporters and surmounted by the royal crown above a laurel wreath. The legend 'KINGDOM OF TONGA' arcs along the upper field, while the date '1997' appears in the lower field below the circular frame. The motto scroll 'KO E OTUA MO TONGA KO HOKU TOFI'A' is rendered on a ribbon beneath the shield within the circle. A continuous beaded border runs parallel to the oval rim, framing the entire design on the mirror-polished proof field. |
