Tokelau, known previously as the Tokelau Islands, is a dependent territory of New Zealand in the southern Pacific Ocean. It uses the New Zealand Dollar as circulation currency, but has been issuing a variety if non-circulating coins since 1978. These are denominated in "Tala" (the local word for Dollar) and cents. The gold half gram is a mini-coin denominated as Five Dollars. This design is the first issue in a twelve-year series of bullion coins called Marine Life (or Tokelau Sealife), and features the Yellowfin Tuna. The Yellowfin Tuna has brightly-coloured yellow sickle-shaped fins that allow it to manoeuvre easily through the waters of the ocean. This warm-blooded fish - most fish are cold-blooded - is a fast and powerful swimmer that can migrate lengthy distances, making it popular for sport fishing. This tuna is a big fish, too, at almost three metres in length and 400kg in weight, and it is also a popular food source. | ||||||
