The NZOC logo includes the Olympic rings and the silver fern which represents a unified identity and the interconnectedness of athletes and the people who support them. Along with the NZOC logo, this coin incorporates one of three waihanga - patterns that have been created to represent the values of the New Zealand Olympic Team. Niho Tangata (the teeth of the serpent), the waihanga featured on this coin, represents intent, purpose, interconnectedness, movement and communication.
