| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic central design of an athlete rendered in high relief with both arms raised triumphantly above the head, set against a stylised starburst motif incorporating the Southern Cross constellation. The circumferential legend XIVth Commonwealth Games, Auckland curves around the upper portion of the rim, while the denomination 1 Dollar is inscribed along the lower field. The frosted devices stand in bold contrast to the mirror-polished proof field, commemorating the 1990 Commonwealth Games held in Auckland, New Zealand. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 1990 Commonwealth Games held in Auckland — New Zealand's first time hosting the event — this coin was struck in 1989 as part of a broader series released ahead of the games. The Auckland Commonwealth Games were notable for the boycott by several African nations protesting continued sporting ties with apartheid South Africa, which reduced competition fields in several disciplines.
KM#67a distinguishes the silver proof from the standard copper-nickel circulation strike of the same design.
