| Obverse description | Second portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, modelled by Arnold Machin, depicting the Queen with her hair elaborately dressed and adorned with a tiara, her truncated draped bust centred in the field. A border of raised beads encircles the design. The legend TOKELAU arcs along the upper periphery and the date 1978 appears at the right, separated by a raised dot. |

| Reverse description | A large, highly detailed depiction of a breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) cluster dominates the field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic textured surface and flanking foliage and branches extending across the design. The denomination $1 is inscribed in the left field, with the bilingual legend TAHI TALA — meaning 'one dollar' in Tokelauan — arcing along the lower periphery. The composition reflects the cultural and agricultural heritage of the Tokelau atolls. |
