| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly colored and finely detailed scene depicting Moses parting the Red Sea, executed in the antiqued style with selective polychrome enameling. In the upper left, a bearded male figure robed in yellow and red — representing Moses — stands atop a rocky outcrop, raising a wooden staff aloft with his right hand as the sea parts before him, a column of dark smoke rising in the background. The lower half of the field is densely populated with a multitude of figures including men, women, children, and a camel bearing a load, rendered in vivid colors and pressing forward through the parted waters. The Ark of the Covenant is visible being carried amid the crowd. The inscription THE EXODUS appears in relief along the upper left of the field. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has become a reliable vehicle for New Zealand-administered commemorative silver issues with no connection to the territory's own monetary or political history. This release is part of a broader Biblical series and was struck for the collector market exclusively — Tokelau has no functioning coin economy of its own, and its "issues" exist entirely as licensed products distributed through bullion dealers.
The 155.5g weight places it in the 5 oz category standard to this collector segment.
