| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Edward VIII facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and a plain neckline. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, conveying the medallic quality of the piece. The circumferential legend reads EDWARD · VIII · KING · & · EMPEROR in raised Latin capitals, separated by raised dots, running clockwise from the lower left. The rim is bordered by a uniform beaded denticle pattern. The overall style reflects the restrained, modernist portraiture characteristic of British medallic art of the mid-twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | A finely engraved kiwi (Apteryx) stands in profile facing right at the centre of the field, its long curved bill inclined downward and its rounded, feather-textured body rendered with naturalistic detail. The bird stands upon a plain horizontal ground line. The legend NEW ZEALAND arcs across the upper field in raised Latin capitals, while the date 1936 is positioned in the lower field beneath the ground line. The rim is bordered by a continuous beaded denticle pattern consistent with the obverse. |
