| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the neck truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed to the upper left of the field and TOKELAU to the upper right, with the denomination TEN DOLLARS at lower left, the date 2016 at centre bottom, and the metal specification 3oz 999 SILVER along the lower right. The entire design is framed by an elaborate interlaced Celtic knotwork border in high relief, giving the antiqued surface a distinctly Norse decorative character. |

| 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. |
