1 Dollar - Charles III 1st Portrait - Avatar: Way of the Water, Neytiri, Silver Proof

New Zealand's reserve of legal tender licensing agreements with the Royal Australian Mint has produced a steady stream of pop-culture issues in recent years, of which this is one. The Avatar: The Way of Water tie-in coincided with the film's December 2022 theatrical release, with the coin program following in 2023 as part of a broader merchandising window. Charles III's effigy appears here in its first portrait iteration — Jody Clark's design, carried over from Elizabeth II-era infrastructure and adapted for the new reign following her death in September 2022.
