Silver Ounce 2024 Untamed Landscapes - Thorny Lizard, 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, and has also authorised some foreign mints to issue bullion coins under its jurisdiction - including in the internationally popular silver ounce format.

This coin is the fourth release in the Untamed Landscapes by ABC Mint, and features the Thorny Lizard.

The mint says about it:
The Exclusive Untamed Landscapes coin collection takes its inspiration from the rich landscape and fauna of Oceania. Each coin features a unique species from an Oceanic country and communicates the rarity of these untamed environments.

The Thorny Lizard is the fourth release in the Untamed Landscapes Series. This design depicts the distinctive "little devil" confidently staking its territory within the Australian desert. Also known as the Thorny Devil or Dragon, the Thorny Lizard is a species native to Australia. Defined by an intimidating array of spikes covering its entire upper body to ward off predators, the Thorny Lizard is a much-revered animal totem in Aboriginal culture.

This limited-edition 1 troy ounce, bullion coin features 99.99% Australian mined silver which has been responsibly and ethically sourced by LBMA-accredited ABC Refinery.
