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 of non-circulating coins since 1978, and has also authorised some foreign mints to issue bullion coins under its jurisdiction - such as this one.
This coin is part of the Equilibrium series of bullion coins by the Pressburg Mint. The coins in the series have a new design every year and are about balance - equilibrium - between technology and humanity.
The mint says about it:
The yin-yang is an especially important and popular representation of harmony, sprouting from the rich Asian tradition in philosophy. Equilibrium: a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced. This year’s release contemplates the harmony between male and female energy and their traditional roles in society. |
