Silver Ounce 2014 Unicorn, Coin from Tokelau - detailed information

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. These are denominated in dollars or "Tala" (the local word for dollar) and cents.

The country has also authorised some foreign mints to issue non circulating coins under its jurisdiction, such as this 1 oz (one ounce) silver coin.

This coin was designed and produced by Treasures of Oz.

The company says about it:
The unicorn is the only mythological and legendary creature that represents pure perfection, and so does the 2014 Unicorn 1oz Silver Proof Tokelau Coin. In this coin, you have one ounce of pure silver that has been minted to proof quality. Enjoy the depiction of the enchanting unicorn as he steps from the heavily wooded forest into the light of the universe. This light, symbolised by the mirror table background that serves to accent the frosted image of the unicorn and his surroundings, beckons the unicorn to come forth.

It is said that the unicorn brings with it magic and miracles, which may explain why so many people wanted to capture this animal for their own purposes. However, only the most pure and innocent may tame the wild unicorn. Like so many of the Tokelau coins, the obverse side of the coin features a cameo of Queen Elizabeth II and the royal badge of Tokelau. The images are frosted and are accented by the mirrored field behind them.
