Minted with a mirrored field on the reverse side of the coin, both this field and the unicorn are silver, symbolising absolute purity. The remarkable, rich jewel tones colours of the forest provide a stark contrast to the unicorn’s purity. The colours of the tree and the surrounding greenery symbolise the real world around us. While it is colourful and attractive to us, it is not virtuous.
Only those who are chaste and virtuous can tame the unicorn. Tapestries from the Renaissance depict the captured unicorn surrounded by these same greens, browns and reds, all colours of the natural world. With the colours in the background, you are sure to notice the confident stance of the mythical unicorn that looks beyond the world of base desire.

Turn this coin to the obverse side and will see the images that appear on most Tokelau coins: Queen Elizabeth II and the badge of Tokelau. These reliefs, too, are crafted with superior artistry and each coin is minted to the highest quality.
Your Unicorn Silver Coloured Proof coin is legal tender in the Pacific Island of Tokelau, but you may not want to let go of it. The coin will arrive in a crimson presentation box, and it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The legendary creature Pegasus is a much-loved and well-recognized figure in mythology. It is this powerful winged horse who can soar on feathered wings through the air, control the weather and create a wellspring of inspiration simply by stamping one thunderous hoof into the earth.
In this silver coin, rich indigo clouds summoned by Pegasus begin to boil out of the sky. The powerful horse leaps upward, his wings ready to catch the air in one giant clasp as he surges out on his mission.

The drama of this coin lies in the frosted relief image of Pegasus, framed by both the inky dark clouds and the mirrored field behind him. The stunning detail of his body and wings is exquisite, and it is the proof quality that makes the minting so remarkable.
The obverse side of the Silver Coloured Proof Tokelau Coin is also a work of art because it bears a cameo of the monarch of Tokelau, Queen Elizabeth II. Look closely and you will see the intricate details of not only her crown but also each lock of hair. Beneath her lies the badge of Tokelau, which is a common symbol of all Tokelau coins.

By all account the most beautiful coins i’ve yet had the pleasure of selling
