"On this piece, the two massive beasts lunge forward at each other fiercely – eyes lit, fangs bared and claws showing. An image of force and power, one can almost hear the resounding roar as they clash. Minute lines that detail the muscles and fur on their bodies are contrasted with bold shadows and deep indentations on their faces. Their impressive mane is striking and rises above the reverse to a 3D effect. Attention to fine specifics such as the matted knots on the mane of the Chinese Guardian Lion compared to the African Lion's luscious mane flowing behind him, make them distinctly differentiated from each other, and are skillfully delivered to ensure it speaks to the collector. The obverse features the legal tender of Tokelau, the official effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.



Ultra-High Relief - Bi-Metal Plus

With the use of 2 oz of 999 pure silver combined with 11.5 oz of copper, this piece boasts an impressive size of 80mm for its weight. This is made possible through the use of a technique called Bi-Metal Plus which allows for an ultra-high relief topped with silver antiqued finishing."

As a legal tender offering of Tokelau, the coin's obverse displays the Ian Rank-Broadly effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The background depicts a pattern of ovals in a wave-like display that goes horizontally across the surface. Inscriptions include: "TOKELAU 2022 . ELIZABETH II . 10 DOLLARS ."

The reverse design features the two beasts about to engage in intense physical contact. Each has a look of determination and intense focus. Who will win? Grasses and plants line the lower part of the coin and clouds mark the sky above.
