| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a right-facing draped bust designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials 'IRB' incuse below the truncation. The upper field bears the legend 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'TOKELAU' to the right, with the date '2016' positioned vertically at the right, all in spaced capital letters. Below the effigy, at centre field, appears a depiction of the Tokelau coat of arms — a traditional faifeau bag adorned with a cross motif — surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto 'TOKELAU MO TE ATUA'. The lower legend reads '~ Five Dollars - 1 oz 999 Silver ~', flanked by decorative dot ornaments in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tokelau has no indigenous coinage tradition — the territory uses the New Zealand dollar for actual commerce, and its numismatic program exists entirely as a revenue-generating exercise administered on its behalf. The 2016 Lunar series entry is part of a broader collector market targeting Chinese New Year demand, a niche that exploded after the Perth Mint demonstrated its commercial viability in the 1990s and drew dozens of smaller issuing authorities into annual competition.
KM#89 is one of several Tokelau lunar issues struck by a contracted private mint rather than any facility on the atoll itself — Tokelau has no mint, no mint-capable infrastructure, and a total land area of roughly 12 square kilometres.
