| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking contemporary sculptural composition set against a deep obsidian black mirror field. Two stylized humanoid figures rendered in high relief face each other in profile, their smooth, helmet-like heads nearly touching at the center of the coin; the left figure is finished in gold plating while the right figure retains the natural polished silver finish of the coin, creating a vivid two-tone contrast. The composition conveys an intimate moment of connection and romantic devotion through minimalist, futuristic artistry. The word LOVE is incused in refined capital letters at the upper portion of the field, serving as the sole legend on this face. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau's coinage program is administered entirely by New Zealand, which has issued collector silver on behalf of the territory since the 1970s. The atoll group has no mint of its own, no significant domestic economy, and a population under 1,500 — making its numismatic output purely a revenue instrument for the New Zealand government rather than anything approaching circulating currency.
The 93.3g specification places this squarely in the 3 troy ounce category, a weight tier that became increasingly common among Pacific sovereign issuers after 2015 as the collector market pushed for larger format bullion-adjacent pieces.
