Tokelau Coins
Tokelau, a dependent territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific, has a unique numismatic history. Although it has no circulating currency of its own, it has issued commemorative coins that are prized by collectors around the world.
Current currency and monetary system
Tokelau currently uses the New Zealand dollar as its official currency. This monetary arrangement reflects its status as a dependent territory of New Zealand. Despite not having its own currency in circulation, Tokelau has issued commemorative and collector coins since the 1970s, which are minted by the New Zealand Mint and other international mints.
Numismatic history and highlights
Tokelau's numismatic history is marked by the issuance of unique thematic coins. Among its most popular series are coins with animal designs, such as the "Mythical Creatures" series and the "Chinese Zodiac" series. A major milestone was the 2017 issuance of a silver coin commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, which generated international controversy due to its subject matter. These numismatic issues are not only appreciated by collectors, but also serve as a source of income for the small territory.
