| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed commemorative composition celebrating fifty years of New Zealand decimal currency, incorporating six iconic design elements drawn from the original 1967 circulation coinage series: a tuatara lizard from the 5-cent piece, kowhai blossoms from the 2-cent piece, a koruru Maori carved head from the 10-cent piece, the barque Endeavour from the 50-cent piece, a kiwi bird from the 20-cent piece, and a fern frond from the 1-cent piece. The individual motifs are separated by stylised koru spiral decorations evoking traditional Maori artistic forms. The commemorative legend and dual date span arc around the design within the outer border. |
