The elusive beauty and magnificence of the unicorn is what great legends are made of, and this is particularly true in almost every culture and time period around the world. Unicorns were never part of Greek mythology, because the Greeks, insisting that unicorns were real, catalogued them under natural history. European and Indian cultures revered this magical beast.

The unicorn is a magnificent horse or goat-like creature easily recognized by the single horn coming from its forehead. Only someone pure and chaste could capture and tame the wild unicorn. Unicorns symbolise purity, and the selective gilding and unparalleled sculpting in this silver coin makes the unicorn a divine specimen not only to look at, but also to possess.

The unicorn depicted this Tokelau coin emerges from the shelter of the forest, poised confidently while listening to the nearby sounds and watching the surroundings, but ready to take flight to avoid capture.
