| Reverse description | A North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) is depicted with its long bill raised upward in full call, its richly textured plumage rendered in fine relief against a dynamic background of stylised koru and whakairo (Māori scroll and carving motifs) that flow across the field. Above the bird, a stylised marama (moon) is rendered within a circular arc of koru patterns. The legend TE KIWI NUI curves along the upper left arc, while the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed vertically along the right border. The overall composition integrates Māori artistic tradition with naturalistic ornithological detail. |

| Additional information |
Te Kiwi Nui — "the great kiwi" in Māori — is the Royal Mint's name for the oversized kiwi series issued for New Zealand collectors. The 2026 date places this under Charles III, whose effigy replaced Elizabeth II across Commonwealth coinage following her death in September 2022. New Zealand was among the first jurisdictions to confirm the transition portrait, using the Jody Clark obverse already in widespread use across the Commonwealth rather than commissioning an independent design.
