Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Tala - Elizabeth II (Portuguese Escudo) 2002 coin from Tokelau (New Zealand) is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed specifically for this coin. The portrait was created by the artist Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his depictions of the Queen and other members of the British royal family. The coin's design also includes an image of a traditional Tokelauan canoe, which adds to its cultural significance and connection to the island nation.
