Obverse: features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley. The surrounding inscription reads ELIZABETH II TOKELAU 2022 IRB 1 oz FINE SILVER 9999, indicating the country, year, and purity.
Reverse: depicts a clock showing five minutes to twelve — a powerful symbol of the passage of time, the fragility of life, and eternity. Around the dial are Roman numerals, with the inscription CHRONOS DOLLARS below.
About the coin: this 1 oz silver coin is part of the “Chronos” series, issued for Tokelau and struck from 9999 fine silver. The series, begun in 2015, explores the philosophical concept of time — its value and unstoppable flow. The 2022 edition stands out for its minimalist yet meaningful design, reflecting humanity’s contemplation of time and infinity. The mintage is 30,000 pieces (BU) and 7,500 pieces (Prooflike).
