Tokelau Sealife is a 12-coin series of bullion coins featuring aquatic life teeming in the waters around this Pacific island group. It debuted in 2014 under the banner of Australian producer, Treasures of Oz, with the coins struck in the US (at the Highland Mint, we believe). However, the series was relaunched in 2020 with a revised, and more intricate design, and became an exclusive at US mega-dealer, APMEX.

APMEX have just issued the tenth in the range, and it features the Lau Lau Fau Longfin Bannerfish. The design follows the style of the 2020 reboot, which maintains the excellent fish imagery of the pre-2020 coins, but adds a complex, and in our view, divisive pattern in the background field. You’ll have your own views for sure, and you can see this one, and all the previous releases in our newly revised Tokelau Sealife Coin Series Profile, to compare.

As has been the case since 2020, there are one-ounce silver and one-ounce gold variants, with the former limited to 10,000 pieces, and the latter just 100. Both are supplied encapsulated, and are available to buy from APMEX now.
