Tokelau — three coral atolls with no indigenous coinage tradition and a total land area of roughly 12 square kilometers — has issued collector coins under New Zealand administration since 2012, effectively functioning as a licensing vehicle for the bullion and numismatic novelty market. The Noah's Ark silver series is among the most widely distributed in this segment, struck by the Bavarian State Mint on behalf of multiple issuing authorities simultaneously, which means near-identical coins appear under Armenian, Cook Islands, and Tokelau labels in the same calendar year.
