5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Greater crested tern

Tokelau has no mint of its own and no indigenous coinage tradition — these issues are struck under New Zealand administration, primarily for the collector market. The Greater Crested Tern series belongs to a wave of fractional gold miniatures that flooded the numismatic market in the early 2010s, produced in formats small enough to hit accessible price points without sacrificing a gold purity guarantee.

KM#156 is among the lightest struck legal-tender gold issues in the Pacific region.
