| Obverse lettering | TOKELAU 5 DOLLARS 20 20 IRB 1 oz FINE SILVER ELIZABETH II |
| Reverse description | Stylized depiction of a standing female figure inspired by the marble statue Diana sculpted by Hiram Powers (1805–1873), rendered in a classical neoclassical idiom with flowing drapery. The design incorporates a hidden word ICON, split into the two elements IC and ON, cleverly integrated into the composition as a security or artistic feature. The field surrounding the figure is finished in a contrasting prooflike style, enhancing the sculptural relief of the central motif. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau, a non-self-governing territory administered by New Zealand, has no domestic mint and produces no circulating coinage of practical use — its "issues" are sovereign-branded bullion and collector pieces struck under contract, typically in New Zealand or Australia. This Diana commemorative is part of a broader wave of Pacific micro-territory silver rounds that exploit numismatic licensing rather than any historical or monetary connection to their subject.
