| Obverse description | The central field bears the elaborately rendered Royal Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Tonga, depicting a quartered shield charged with three five-pointed stars, a cross, a dove with an olive branch, and a crowned cross, supported by scrollwork mantling. Two Tongan national flags are displayed in saltire behind the shield, surmounted by a royal crown flanked by laurel sprays. A scroll beneath the arms bears the national motto in Tongan: KO E OTUA MO TONGA KO HOKU TOFIA. The legend KINGDOM OF TONGA arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, with the date 1997 displayed prominently at the base. |
