| Reverse description | Odin, the chief deity of Norse mythology, is depicted seated in a commanding frontal pose upon his throne Hlidskjalf, rendered in high relief with an antiqued finish. He holds his legendary spear Gungnir upright in one hand, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a voluminous cloak, his single eye conveying authority and wisdom. His two wolves, Geri and Freki, are shown flanking him at his feet, while his twin ravens Huginn and Muninn perch nearby, symbolic of thought and memory. The word ODIN is inscribed prominently in the field. The composition is framed by the same intricate Celtic knotwork border as the obverse, unifying the overall design aesthetic of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and no meaningful indigenous coinage tradition — its collector issues are produced under license, typically at the New Zealand Mint, targeting the international bullion and numismatic market rather than any domestic circulation. The "Gods of the World" series to which this piece belongs was one of several competing thematic programs flooding that market in the mid-2010s, when demand for large-format silver rounds with mythology themes peaked sharply before softening.
Odin's inclusion reflects a broader Scandinavian mythological thread common across Pacific issuer programs of this period, chosen for market appeal rather than any cultural connection to Tokelau itself.
