| Reverse description | Central design featuring a stylized left-facing female bust representing Virgo, her elaborate hair adorned with intricate ornamental patterns combining swirling, geometric, and Celtic-inspired relief work. Above the central motif, the Virgo astrological glyph (♍) appears alongside the inscription 'VIRGO' in the upper field. The broad outer border is decorated with all twelve astrological symbols arranged at equal intervals around the circumference, rendered in a shallow but crisp relief against the flat annular band, creating a striking contrast with the deeply sculpted central design. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has become one of the more prolific issuers of bullion and collector silver in the Pacific, a function of its status as a New Zealand territory with its own issuing authority but virtually no domestic coin-using economy. The Virgo issue belongs to a zodiac series — a format that drives reliable collector demand and allows small territories to sustain a minting program that has no relationship to local commerce whatsoever.
Charles III's effigy appears on Tokelau coinage following the standard transition from Elizabeth II after September 2022, with new obverse dies introduced across Commonwealth-affiliated issuers through 2023 and into 2024.
