Tokelau Fish Series
The first year for the Tokelau Fish series was in 2014. In 2020, the entire series was redesigned with limited mintages and updated modern artwork and became an APMEXclusive®. The design on the reverse changes every year in honor of Tokelau’s rich fishing tradition, which has been passed down through the generations by featuring a variety of species of fish – creating a highly collectible and widely popular coin series.

Tokelau
The country of issue, Tokelau, is comprised of three small coral atolls located in the South Pacific Ocean. Schools of fish are attracted to these isolated atolls, with a variety of fish species including ruby snapper, yellowfin tuna and dolphinfish. In 2011, Tokelau declared 123,178 square miles to become a shark sanctuary. This sanctuary prohibits commercial fishing of all sharks and reduces shark mortality in its waters. With the sanctuary in place, more species of fish are drawn to the country of Tokelau and its safer waters.
