| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Michelangelo's celebrated fresco The Creation of Adam (circa 1512), taken from the Sistine Chapel ceiling, depicted within a rectangular frame bordered by reeded gilt edges. The scene portrays the reclining nude figure of Adam on the left extending his left arm toward the Divine Creator, shown on the right enveloped in a flowing mantle and surrounded by angels, with their index fingers nearly touching in the iconic gesture of divine animation. The vibrant polychrome artwork is faithfully rendered across the entire reverse field, with no additional lettering or legend present. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and issues coins entirely as a revenue mechanism administered through New Zealand, with legal tender status that exists on paper rather than in any practical circulation. At 0.1555 g, this is a fractional miniature gold piece — one-twentieth of a troy ounce — a format that proliferated sharply in the 2010s and 2020s as mints competed for the collector bullion market at accessible price points.
