| Reverse description | An elaborate astronomical and esoteric composition set against a darkened field decorated with a celestial star chart depicting multiple constellations, stylised solar motifs, and radiating division lines evoking a cosmic planisphere. At centre, a large multi-rayed sun disc encloses an all-seeing eye above symbolic devices including an ankh, rendered in high sculptural relief and surrounded by intricate geometric and decorative banding. In the lower field, a three-dimensional armillary sphere is depicted in polished relief, contrasting against the engraved starfield. The legend 'VIVAT HUMANITAS' arcs across the upper portion of the inner band, while the motto 'AD ASTRA PER ASPERA' appears twice in the lower left and lower right fields flanking the armillary sphere. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau has no mint of its own and issues coins largely as a vehicle for the New Zealand-administered territory's licensed bullion and collector programs — this piece is part of that framework rather than any domestic monetary need. The "Vivat Humanitas" series under Charles III continues a format established during Elizabeth II's reign, pairing the new monarch's effigy with humanist themes across annual releases targeting the bullion collector market.
KM#430 is a 2024 first-year-of-type under Charles III's portrait, whose obverse die was authorized following his accession in September 2022.
