| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized world map rendered in intricate paisley and damask ornamental patterning, depicting the continents of Asia, Australia, and surrounding regions in high relief against a dark frosted field. A geometric network of fine lines overlays the globe design, evoking cartographic rhumb lines or a navigator's chart. To the right of center, a circular inset bears the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB visible below the portrait. The denomination legend '100 DOLLARS' arcs across the upper field, flanked by a graduated degree scale running around the full circumference of the inner border. The legends 'ELIZABETH II - TOKELAU' and 'TERRA 2022' appear at right and in the lower field respectively, all within a decorative inner border featuring a repeating triangular motif. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and no independent monetary authority in any practical sense — the territory issues collector coinage through the New Zealand government, with physical production contracted to private mints. The "Terra" branding places this piece within a bullion-adjacent series marketed on fine gold content rather than any historical or numismatic depth specific to Tokelau itself.
At 31.31 grams of .9999 gold, the weight falls just short of a full troy ounce — a deliberate specification common to Perth Mint-affiliated Pacific island issues designed to price slightly below standard one-ounce product.
