| Descrizione del dritto | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, with the engraver's initials 'DT' visible below the truncation. The portrait is encircled by an elaborate geometric border of interlocking diamond and lattice motifs inspired by traditional Tokelauan decorative art. The arc legend 'CHARLES III' runs along the upper left and 'TOKELAU 2025' along the upper right, while 'FIVE DOLLARS 1OZ.999 SILVER' is inscribed along the lower arc. The Tokelauan motto 'MO TE ATUA' appears at the base. |

| Descrizione del rovescio | The reverse features a highly detailed, mirror-image composition of two coiled snakes rendered in sculpted relief, commemorating the Chinese Lunar Year of the Snake 2025. The left half of the design is struck in a matte or frosted finish, while the right half is rendered in a polished mirror finish, creating a striking bilateral contrast that emphasizes the 'mirror' concept. Both serpents face inward toward the vertical axis, their bodies sinuously coiled and overlapping, with finely engraved scale textures. The legend 'YEAR OF' appears at the upper left and 'THE SNAKE' at the upper right, with the date '2025' inscribed at the base. |

Tokelau has become one of the Pacific's most prolific bullion and numismatic issuing territories despite having no independent monetary system of its own — New Zealand administers the territory, and these coins are legal tender in name only, struck entirely for the collector market by external minting programs. The "Mirror Snake" belongs to a recurring series built around high-relief sculpted surfaces combined with proof mirror fields, a combination that demands precise die maintenance and typically limits effective mintage runs regardless of stated maximums.
Charles III coinage programs accelerated sharply following his 2022 accession, with numerous issuing territories racing to place his effigy into new product lines.
