| Obverse description | The obverse features a right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II at centre, surrounded by a decorative geometric diamond-pattern inner border. Encircling this is a broad annular band divided into twelve segments, each containing a raised zodiac symbol with its name in Latin script and its corresponding elemental attribute in Cyrillic script (воздух/air, вода/water, огонь/fire, земля/earth). The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II – TOKELAU 2012' around the upper field, with 'Ag925', the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД), the IRB engraver's mark, and 'FIVE DOLLARS' below the effigy. The flag of Tokelau is depicted in a rectangular cartouche at the base of the central device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed high-relief centaur archer in the classical Sagittarius tradition, shown rearing on its hind legs in a dynamic leftward pose with flowing hair, drawing a fully tensioned bow with arrow aimed to the left. The central design is set against a deeply mirrored proof field and enclosed within a plain raised border. Surrounding this central medallion is a broad gilded annular border richly decorated with repeating flame or acanthus-scroll motifs in selective gold gilding, providing a striking contrast to the silver central device. The Cyrillic inscription 'СТРЕЛЕЦ' (Sagittarius) appears in the lower field of the central circle. |
