Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts a map of the Pacific island nation of Tokelau, along with the coin's denomination and year of issue. This coin was issued as a commemorative piece to honor the 100th anniversary of Eisenhower's birth, and its unique design makes it a standout among other coins in the Tokelauan numismatic collection.
