| Reverse description | A finely detailed composition depicting a large adult goat and a kid rendered in selective gold gilding against a mirror-polished silver field, commemorating the Chinese Lunar Year of the Goat. The adult goat, shown in left profile with prominent curved horns and a long shaggy coat, faces the smaller kid in a tender, nose-to-nose encounter amid stylised foliage and rocky ground in the lower field. The date '2015' is inscribed within a rectangular cartouche in the upper right field. The overall design conveys naturalistic depth and texture, with the gilded elements providing striking contrast against the brilliant proof surface. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau's lunar series coins are struck under contract by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of an atoll territory with no independent monetary authority and a total land area under 12 square kilometers. The coins are legal tender in name, but Tokelau's actual transactional currency remains the New Zealand dollar.
KM#85a designates the silver variant, distinguished from the base-metal issue struck the same year.
