Coins with maps on them are a big item for many collectors. For some, map-themed coins are a gateway to larger cartography collections. For others, an interest in cartography means investing in collectible coins with gorgeous map depictions. The 2022 1 oz Tokelau Terra Silver Coin is an ideal item to fuel any of these collector needs, and it’s also a great option for those that just like a beautiful coin.
This coin is all about Terra, the only planet humankind has to live on currently. Terra is a Latin, Portuguese and Italian word that refers to land or the actual planet, and it’s often used in science fiction to mean the original planet Earth. The obverse of the 2022 Tokelau Terra Silver Coin features a partial map of the globe. The stylized cartography presents the continents of Asia and Australia and the islands of Oceania with a paisley pattern. The ocean shows up in a darker shade with a grid pattern. Off to the right, an inset houses the requisite effigy of Elizabeth II. Like many other coins from Tokelau, the chosen portrait is Ian Rank-Broadley’s 1998 version.
The reverse carries the same patterns and themes. This time, the part of the world map depicted is the Atlantic region, including parts of the continents of North and South America, Europe and Africa. An elaborately styled compass rose takes up much of the area of the Atlantic, and the same paisley and grid patterns are used to separate land and water. Both sides of the coin have a border that’s designed to look like a compass gauge, including degrees from 1 to 360 indicated with tick marks. The reverse includes an inscription in Latin that means save me and I’ll save you (or protect me and I’ll protect you). The phrase is meant to describe the symbiotic relationship humanity and Earth have.
For protection, this coin ships in a plastic flip. You can use the clear flip to maintain the coin’s condition as you store or display it.
