| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing truncated bust of King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with fine hair and collar detail. The peripheral legend arcs around the upper portion of the coin reading TAUFA'AHAU TUPOU IV · TONGA, with the date 1987 displayed in the lower exergual area flanked by two small dots. The design is set against a smooth, recessed field that accentuates the portrait's sculptural quality. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tonga's 1987 Christmas coinage was part of a broader Pacific island tradition of issuing themed circulation-adjacent pieces under Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, who used the National Reserve Bank to cultivate a numismatic program that generated foreign exchange as much as it served domestic commerce. The king himself held a doctorate from Melbourne University and took an unusually direct interest in Tonga's monetary policy decisions — including what went on the coins.
