The portrait is set within a raised circular border against a deeply sculpted background depicting sinuous dragon imagery extending across the field. The legend TOKELAU and date 2021 arc along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed in bold relief along the lower border. The name ELIZABETH II curves within the inner circle above the portrait. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a coiling Chinese dragon encircling and sheltering an ox as it strides powerfully forward, symbolising protection and guidance in Chinese zodiac tradition. The dragon's scaled body, clawed feet, flowing whiskers, and fierce visage are rendered with exceptional sculptural depth consistent with the antiqued finish. The ox occupies the central lower field, depicted mid-charge with musculature finely articulated. The surrounding background is filled with auspicious cloud formations and decorative elements drawn from classical Chinese iconographic tradition. The overall composition conveys dynamism and symbolic harmony between the two zodiac figures. |
