| Reverse description | A commemorative effigy of the young Queen Elizabeth II depicted in profile facing right, shown in coronation regalia including the St Edward's Crown, ermine-trimmed robes, and the Coronation Mantle adorned with olive branch embroidery. The Queen holds the Sovereign's Orb in her left hand and the Sceptre with Cross in her right. Behind the figure, a gilded Gothic rose window tracery forms the background field, rendered in selective gold plating to contrast with the silver effigy. The royal cypher ER with a small Roman numeral II interlocked at centre lower field is prominently displayed. The legend CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery within a polished flat border. |

Tokelau has become a reliable vehicle for the New Zealand Mint's bullion and collector programs, issuing coins under its name with little connection to local monetary use — the territory has no independent currency and operates economically within New Zealand's dollar system. This five-ounce piece appeared in 2023 as part of the wave of posthumous tributes following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, a period during which dozens of Commonwealth and associated territories rushed commemorative issues to market.
KM#423 is one of several Tokelau entries from this period. The New Zealand Mint holds the production contract.
