| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed composition depicting two humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) rendered in high relief against a frosted black field. A smaller whale, possibly a calf, is shown swimming toward the upper right within a circular white zone suggesting water or a moon, while a larger adult whale occupies the lower portion of the field in a graceful horizontal pose. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs across the upper periphery, and the denomination 1 PA'ANGA appears along the lower border, all in raised Latin lettering. The design is framed by a beaded border and reflects the conservation theme of the series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tonga's 1994 wildlife series was issued under the National Reserve Bank during a period when Pacific island nations were actively leveraging commemorative coin programs as foreign exchange earners — collector demand from Europe and Japan made these series genuinely profitable. The coins were never intended for domestic circulation and were sold almost exclusively through numismatic distributors abroad.
The .925 silver specification matches the standard adopted across most Commonwealth-adjacent Pacific issues of the early 1990s, when the Perth Mint and British Royal Mint competed aggressively for these contracts.
