Silver Ounce 2021 Vivat Humanitas, Coin from Tokelau - detailed information

The obverse design of the coin features the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits. In tiny letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

The portrait is smaller than usual and is located to the right of the centre; it is surrounded by a stylised piano keyboard.

The rest of the surface features music-related symbols, including symbols of notes, the representation of an audio wave above left, and music lines on which is written 1 oz (one troy ounce) and Ag 999 (99.9% silver) below.

Below left, the legend of the monarch on two lines: ELIZABETH II TOKELAU.

At the centre of the reverse, in a eight-pointed figure consisting of two squares, a stylised human eye and a clef symbol in the middle of a musical score; in the right part of that, the face value $5 (five dollars). In four of the corners, more musical symbols: eighth note, common time, chord, coda.

The background of the centre imitates vinyl record grooves.

Around above, the inscription VIVAT HUMANITAS (translated from Latin: "Long live humanity”), Around below, the date of issue 2021.
