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 thousandth-ounce (1/1000oz) format is a micro-coin issued for collectors only.

This coin was issued to celebrate the accession of King Charles III to the throne. The coin is shaped as the Imperial Crown.
