| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered in high relief against an elaborately detailed background featuring the sinuous scales of a dragon and tiger partially visible within the circular border. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the effigy, flanked by the inscription TOKELAU to the left and 2022 to the right along the outer field. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation, and a small Tokelau flag privy mark is visible in the lower left field. The denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower arc in bold lettering. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau's use as an issuing authority for large-format bullion and collector pieces is a legal convenience — the territory's actual monetary relationship with New Zealand means these coins carry face value in name only. The "clad copper" architecture here is worth noting: sandwiching a copper core between fine silver layers allows a dramatic weight specification without the premium of solid silver, a format that became commercially popular with dealers targeting the stacking market in the early 2020s.
