| Reverse description | The central field features a boldly modelled bull's head shown in three-quarter view, rendered in an elaborate Polynesian tribal tattoo style with intricate scrollwork, koru spirals, and geometric patterning covering the entire figure. Above the bull's head, the astrological symbol for Taurus is depicted with the inscription 'TAURUS' beneath it in the upper field. The wide raised border surrounding the central device displays all twelve zodiac symbols evenly spaced around the circumference, each rendered as their classical astrological glyph against a matte background. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and no meaningful numismatic tradition — its coin program exists entirely as a licensed revenue vehicle, with designs contracted out and struck at foreign facilities, most commonly the New Zealand Mint. The Taurus entry in this zodiac series is functionally a bullion-adjacent collectible issued under Tokelau's name for jurisdictional convenience rather than any connection to the territory's population of roughly 1,500 people.
Charles III's effigy appears here as a first-reign type, following his accession in September 2022.
