2022 Silver 1 oz Tokelau Komodo Dragon Coin.
Last week I posted a coin with a lizard and this weeks feature is another one, the largest monitor lizard, the 2022 1 oz silver Tokelau Komodo Dragon coin.
The largest extant species of lizard the Komodo Dragon is found on three of the Indonesian islands of Komodo - Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang. I'm not sure what this huge monitor lizard has to do with the New Zealand territory Tokelau but they have partnered with the Scottsdale Mint to product this amazing coin.
The obverse side freatures a frosted background with the latest profile image of Queen Elizabth II in the center. Just under the Queen's image is the inscription 1OZ .999 to the left and SILVER to the right with TWO DOLLARS just underneath. Inside the decrative outer rim of what looks like double X's is the inscription ELIZABETH II TOKELAU and 2022. At the bottom of the coin is the National Tokelau Badge, a traditional Tokelauan carved wooden tackle box with a banner under it saying the Motto Tokelau mo te Atua or Tokelau for God.
The Reverse features a proof like finish design with a Komodo dragon in the center of a scene from it's natural habitat at the beach with trees and mountains in the background. Across the top is the inscription KOMODO DRAGON.

Closest thing to a real life dragon ❤️❤️
Definitely a huge lizard that I don't want
to come face to face with.
I have seen it in the zoo. A magnificent creature!
I have seen one in a zoo also and
I agree it was very impressive.
The dragon coin is beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites !
Yes it is.
I think both sides have very nice designs.
I wonder what it uses those sharp looking claws for...
It does have a mean set of claws.
From what I understand it uses them
to attack and hold prey.
Awesome! Scottsdale mint delivers another nice work of art. You don't want to come fact to face with one, they have been known to eat people!
I have no fear of most lizards but this one is something different. 😆
Scottsdale does some great stuff.
Yes they do some realy nice work and for so many Countries.
Triple EEEKKKKK!!!!
That's a huge lizard!!!
lol Yeah I wouldn't want one of those chasing me.
This coin has some very nice detailing.
Great coin, thanks for sharing, @maddogmike

Hello @maddogmike You have another beautiful coin to show this week. Thank you. Yes that is strange to have a Komodo dragon on a New Zealand coin. Maybe New Zealand has a Komodo at their zoo. Thank you for your post. Have a great week. Barb 😊 !BBH !CTP

Thank you @bbhbot 😊
I tried to find some information on what a
komodo dragon has t do with Tokelau but I
came up Empty, I have no idea why but it
does make for a nice coin.
Yes I also tried looking for some info on the Komodo dragon. The person that had the coin made probably admired komodo dragons. Yes it's a beautiful coin! 😊 Have a great weekend @maddogmike !BBH !CTP

I like both sides
