2020 Tokelau Vivat Humantias 1oz Silver Prooflike

This 2020 Tokelau Vivat Humanitas 1oz Silver Proof-like coin introduces an intriguing new series produced by Pressburg Mint for Tokelau. The series theme centers around the concept that humanity, (as noted by the mint), "...keeps on advancing and delivers impressive achievements despite all conflicts and differences. Script and writing systems have evolved in different human civilisations. Communication in written form is one of the major milestones in human development which has made humanity unique." The proof-like finish adds a deep shine and allows the coin to shine as well!

Vivat Humanitas

As legal tender in Tokelau, the obverse includes a small effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II produced by Iran Rank-Broadly into the center of the design. This is encircled by a highly decorative border that adds the sense of a 3-D effect. With the featured theme of this first release being that of the evolution and significance of human written communication, the design integrates various examples of written ancient languages encircling the rim. This is not only interesting but also adds much to the overall design. Inscriptions include "ELIZABETH II . TOKELAU . 5 DOLLARS . 1 oz Ag 999."

The reverse design celebrates the concept of Viat Humanitas (Latin for Long Live Humanity!) As humanity has advanced over the millennia, so also it has been increasingly enlightened through the development and spreading of written communication across the globe. The design features symbols from four very different written ancient languages representing four of the core concepts that humanity has struggled to understand, including:

• Maya script - tz'ib' (writing)
• Ancient Chinese - rén (human)
• Sumerian Cuneiform - ki (earth)
• Egyptian Hieroglyphics - Bâ (soul)

Depicted at very the center of the design is a highly stylized Sun and the image of the Eye of Horus (ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power, and good health) Inscriptions include, "VIVAT HUMANITAS . 2020."
