The Tongan motto 'KO E 'OTUA MO TONGA KO HOKU TOFIA' appears on a scroll beneath the shield. The legend 'KINGDOM OF TONGA' curves along the upper periphery, with the date '1992' displayed at the base, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field with a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Two competitive sailors are depicted in dynamic action aboard a racing dinghy in the foreground, one figure leaning outboard on a trapeze wire while the other controls the tiller, with the large mainsail billowing to the left. Two additional sailboats are rendered in the middle distance against a stylized sea rendered with horizontal wave lines. The legend 'OLYMPIC GAMES 1996' arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 'ONE PA'ANGA' is inscribed along the lower margin, all set within a beaded border against a proof-quality mirror field. |
