| Reverse description | A dynamic, highly detailed coloured depiction of Pouākai, the extinct Haast's Eagle (Hieraaetus moorei), shown in a dramatic swooping posture with wings fully spread against a polychrome background evoking the mountainous Canterbury landscape of New Zealand's South Island. The eagle's head and upper body are treated with rose gold plating, creating a striking contrast against the coloured field. A Māori koru motif is incorporated into the lower composition, referencing indigenous artistic tradition. The incuse legend POUĀKAI HAAST'S EAGLE · ONE DOLLAR runs along the lower rim. |
