| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, with the engraver's initials IRB truncated at the base of the neck. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above in the upper field, with TOKELAU inscribed below the effigy. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the right outer field and the fineness notation 1 oz Ag 999 in the left outer field. Surrounding the central recessed portrait zone is a broad annular band densely engraved with a radiating array of characters drawn from multiple ancient writing systems — including Egyptian hieroglyphs, Chinese script, cuneiform, and other historical scripts — arranged in columnar panels around the full circumference. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a textured globe overlaid with a stylized sun whose rays extend outward, with the Eye of Horus (Wadjet) prominently rendered at the centre of the solar disc, evoking themes of universal humanity and ancient symbolism. The globe and sun motif is enclosed within a square frame, itself set within a larger diamond or octagram geometric composition, with triangular corner elements bearing alchemical or elemental symbols at each cardinal point. Various esoteric and cultural symbols — including a Chinese character for 'person' (人), a Mayan or pre-Columbian glyph, and other multi-civilizational icons — are positioned at the angles of the outer geometric frame. The Latin motto VIVAT HUMANITAS arcs across the upper interior of the square frame, and the date 2020 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the globe. |
