| Additional information |
Ymir is the primordial frost giant of Norse cosmology whose dismembered body, according to the Prose Edda, formed the earth, sky, and seas — an odd mythological choice for a Polynesian territory administered by New Zealand. Tokelau has issued silver bullion and collector pieces under its own name since the early 2010s, leveraging its nominal sovereignty to enter the numismatic market despite having no independent monetary system or central bank of its own.
The KM#252 attribution places this within a dense run of Tokelauan collector issues, most produced by the New Zealand Mint on contract.
