| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief against a field decorated with concentric circular engine-turned grooves creating a distinctive spiral optical effect. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear discreetly below the truncation. The legend 'CHARLES III – 2024 TOKELAU' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination and fineness statement '5 DOLLARS – 1 OZ FINE SILVER 9999' curves along the lower periphery. The portrait is modelled by engraver Dan Thorne and displays fine detail in the hair and facial features. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has become a reliable vehicle for New Zealand-administered commemorative silver issues aimed squarely at the collector market, with no meaningful domestic circulation. Van Gogh died in July 1890 — broke, largely unrecognized, having sold perhaps one painting in his lifetime. Within two decades of his death, his work was fetching prices that would have been incomprehensible to him.
The .9999 fineness places this above the more common .999 standard, a distinction some bullion buyers track closely.
