| Additional information |
Tokelau — three coral atolls with a combined land area under 12 square kilometers and no indigenous coinage tradition — began issuing collector coins in the 1970s under New Zealand administration largely as a revenue mechanism. The territory has no mint of its own; this piece was produced externally, almost certainly at the Perth or Royal Australian Mint. Its connection to the 1994 World Cup is purely commercial, the tournament having generated an enormous wave of licensed and semi-licensed numismatic product from jurisdictions with tenuous ties to football.
