Reverse description A Yellow-eyed Penguin (Megadyptes antipodes), New Zealand's endangered endemic species, is depicted standing and facing left amid coastal shoreline vegetation in a detailed naturalistic composition. A second penguin is visible in the right background facing away, lending depth and environmental context to the scene. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed across the upper field, while the species name YELLOW-EYED PENGUIN appears along the lower field, framing the central device. The engraving style employs fine illustrative detail consistent with New Zealand commemorative coinage of the late 1980s.
