| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a Thorny Devil (Moloch horridus) in three-quarter view, its distinctive spiny scales rendered with great naturalistic precision, positioned atop a stylised arid desert landscape with radiating sunburst lines emanating from behind the reptile. In the upper field, a map outline of the Australian continent is prominently displayed alongside a grouping of eight-pointed stars, evoking the Southern Cross constellation. The ABC Mint logo appears twice in the inner border. The circular legend 'OCEANIA - UNTAMED LANDSCAPES' arcs along the upper periphery, while the lower field bears the inscriptions '1 OZ ABC MINT 9999 FINE SILVER' along the bottom arc. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and no indigenous coinage tradition — it issues collector coins exclusively through the New Zealand Overseas Mint arrangement, with legal tender status granted largely as a licensing mechanism. The Thorny Lizard (Moloch horridus) is native to arid Australia, not Tokelau, making this issue part of a broader wildlife bullion program with no particular geographic or historical connection to the issuing territory.
