| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupying the lower lobe of the figure-eight-shaped flan, with the date 2021 inscribed to the upper left of the portrait. A small depiction of the New Zealand Southern Cross flag appears to the left in the field. The legend ELIZABETH II / TOKELAU / 15 DOLLARS is arranged in three lines to the right of the effigy. The upper lobe features a circular disc element with a central aperture, giving the coin its distinctive double-lobed form. The antiqued finish lends a matte, aged appearance to the entire obverse surface. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a dragon and a phoenix intertwining in dynamic, flowing composition along the contours of the figure-eight-shaped flan, symbolising the union of yin and yang in Chinese culture. The two mythical creatures meet and encircle one another across both lobes of the coin, their scales and feathers rendered in fine relief against the antiqued silver field. Each lobe contains a central circular aperture echoing the form of a traditional Chinese bi disc. The overall composition follows the path of the figure eight, an auspicious number in Chinese tradition representing prosperity and good fortune. The antiqued treatment enhances the sculptural depth of the intricate design. |
