| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials 'IRB' appear beneath the truncation. The upper field carries the legend 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'TOKELAU' to the right, with the date '2014' inscribed vertically at the right. Below the portrait, a depiction of the Tokelau inati (traditional food-sharing vessel) is shown, accompanied by a scroll bearing the Tokelauan motto 'TOKELAU MO TE ATUA'. The lower arc of the field bears the denomination and specification legend '~ Five Dollars - 1 oz 999 Silver ~', flanked by decorative tildes, with small dot stops at the left and right mid-fields. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a rearing unicorn occupies the central field, rendered in brilliant proof finish against a mirror-polished black background. The mythical creature is shown in a dynamic three-quarter pose with its right foreleg raised, its flowing mane streaming behind it, and its spiral alicorn rising prominently toward the upper left. Colorization applied to the background introduces lush green foliage in the lower field and a richly colored tree trunk in warm reds and browns at the right, creating a vivid forest setting that contrasts sharply with the silver-finished unicorn. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
