| Reverse description | A finely engraved scene depicting the Greek mythological figure of Europa astride a charging bull, rendered in an elegant linear style against a deeply mirrored black field. Europa is shown in flowing drapery, seated upon the bull's back and grasping one of its horns as the animal strides forward with lowered head. Below the central motif, the legend GODDESS EUROPA is inscribed in bold raised letters, followed by the purity designation Fine Silver and the fineness 999.9. A rectangular cartouche bearing a unique serial number is positioned in the lower field, with the weight denomination 1000 g appearing at the base. |

| Additional information |
Tokelau occupies a peculiar position in numismatics: a non-self-governing territory administered by New Zealand with no independent monetary system, it nonetheless issues coins under arrangement with the New Zealand government, primarily targeting the bullion and collector markets. The territory's own population of roughly 1,500 people spread across three atolls has never been the intended audience.
The Europa series, produced by various mints for multiple issuing authorities simultaneously, became one of the more commercially aggressive multi-kilo silver programs of the early 2020s. The 1-kilogram format at .9999 fineness places this squarely in the investment-grade bullion tier rather than the numismatic one.
