Tokelau / Queen Victoria

Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. From 1 May 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India.

In June 1889, the island of Tokelau got the status of a British Protectorate and was formally brought under the protection of the High Commissioner for the Western Pacific. The Union Jack flag was hoisted on each of the three islands. Thus, Queen Victoria became its head of state.

No coinage was issued for the country in this period.
