| Additional information |
New Zealand's 1989 swimmer dollar was issued to mark the sport's prominence in the country's international competitive profile during the late 1980s, a period when FINA-affiliated programs were drawing serious Commonwealth attention. The Reserve Bank produced silver proof versions of several sport-themed dollars across this era as collector issues, with the base metal circulation strikes running concurrently — the .925 silver proof being the premium tier of a two-format release strategy.
Arnold Machin's effigy, the third portrait of Elizabeth II used on New Zealand coinage, had been in use since 1985.
