| Reverse description | Central depiction of the White Witch, the principal antagonist from C.S. Lewis's 'The Chronicles of Narnia', rendered as a gold-plated high-relief figure standing in a commanding pose and holding a wand, set against a darkened mirror-finish field. The figure is shown from behind, wearing an elaborate crown and robes, conveying regal menace. The denomination $1 appears in the upper right field. The surrounding legend reads THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA above and THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE along the lower border, separated by raised dot stops. A Disney/Walden copyright notice appears in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Part of New Zealand's "Narnia" series issued to coincide with the 2005 Walden Media film adaptation of C.S. Lewis's novel, this coin was released through the Reserve Bank under a licensing arrangement tied to the Disney theatrical release. The series marked one of New Zealand's earlier forays into licensed pop-culture bullion issues — a format that would become increasingly common in the following decade.
