| Reverse description | Standing full-length figure of Hibernia, the classical personification of Ireland, depicted facing slightly left in flowing robes and a Corinthian helmet. She holds a long spear vertically in her left hand and rests her right hand upon an ornately decorated Irish harp at her side, a billowing cape behind her. The legend HIBERNIA arcs across the upper left field, with 1 oz to the upper center and 9999 FINE SILVER arcing across the upper right. The mint mark EM appears in the lower field, and the entire design is set against a textured dot-matrix background. The figure is struck in high relief, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the design. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau, a non-self-governing territory of New Zealand consisting of three coral atolls with a combined land area under 12 square kilometers, has no indigenous coinage tradition — its numismatic output exists entirely as a licensed revenue stream administered through New Zealand. The "Hibernia" name here references Ireland's classical Latin designation, placing this squarely within a collector series rather than any instrument of local commerce.
The .9999 fineness is notable — one step above the .999 standard most sovereign mints use for bullion, a specification Tokelau's issuing agent has leaned on aggressively since the early 2010s to differentiate product in a crowded silver market.
