The Discover New Zealand coin series features three 1oz silver proof coins, each celebrating a natural treasure of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Discover New Zealand is a stream of commemorative coins showcasing New Zealand’s unique natural beauty. The coins in the series are united by a specially designed kaitiaki - guardian - that sits at the base of each coin. The kaitiaki not only acts as a unifying feature that acknowledges Māori as tangata whenua (the people of the land), but is a minder or caregiver, protecting the taonga (treasure) encapsulated by the coin.

Each coin in this series features, respectively, the tūī (an endemic bird), Aoraki Mount Cook (New Zealand’s tallest mountain), and the iconic flowers of the kōwhai tree.
