| Reverse description | The central device depicts a Maori hei-tiki, a traditional ancestral pendant figure rendered in bold relief, facing the viewer with legs bent in a squatting posture and head tilted to one side. The tiki is set within a stylised oval cartouche of interlaced Maori koru scrollwork, all engraved by L. C. Mitchell. The peripheral legend NEW ZEALAND HALF PENNY arcs around the upper and lateral fields, with the date flanked by two raised dots at the base of the coin, and the whole design is bounded by a prominent toothed border. |
