| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene from Māori mythology in which an enraged Māui harnesses his divine powers to transform his brother-in-law Irawaru into the first dog of New Zealand. The central figural composition is rendered with bold, stylised lines and is embellished with traditional Māori koru spiral motifs in the surrounding field. The design is selectively gold-plated on the reverse, highlighting the mythological figures and decorative elements against the polished silver surface. This piece constitutes the first coin in the two-coin 'Māui and the First Dog' (Māui rāua ko Irawaru) series. The face value and denomination appear in both Māori and English within the legend. |
