Design
New Zealand’s Māori culture is a vital part of our national identity. The 10-cent coin features a Māori carved mask, known as a ‘koruru’, with rafter patterns. Traditionally, a koruru is carved into the gables of the meeting house and is seen as the ‘guardian of the house’.
The 20-cent coin portrays an 18th century carving of Māori leader, Pukaki. After his passing, he was depicted in a carving that featured as part of a gateway to strengthen Ohinemutu in preparation for attack. The carving today can be viewed in the entrance to the Rotorua District Council building.
The 50-cent coin features the HMS Endeavour, the ship Captain Cook arrived on when he became the first Briton to reach New Zealand in October 1769.
New Zealand’s wildlife is celebrated on the one- and two-dollar coins. The one-dollar coin features New Zealand’s national bird, the kiwi, and the two-dollar coin features the kōtuku (white heron). In Māori oratory, referring to someone as a kōtuku is the highest compliment, as kōtuku are considered beautiful and rare.
