2020 Kiwi Gold and Ruthenium 2oz Silver Coin
This is my favourite design of all recent coin issues, and am proud to own one. Elegant and stylish but uncluttered design. The raised 3D effect and colouration of the very realistic kiwi is superb. Well done NZ Post, more like this please!

2020 Kiwi gold 2oz
Another 2oz coin that a photo does no justice. The raised Kiwi giving a 3D effect is amazing. The gold on black really sets this coin off and definitely one for the collection.
