Reverse description The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic composition featuring a kakapo (Strigops habroptilus), a large flightless nocturnal parrot native to New Zealand, depicted in right profile standing upon a forest floor. To the upper left of the bird, a frond of Blechnum fern arches gracefully, lending botanical context to the scene. The design captures the distinctive plumage and stocky form of this critically endangered species with considerable artistic precision. The denomination ONE DOLLAR appears above, with the species name KAKAPO inscribed below, both legends following the curvature of the coin's border.
