| Reverse description | The central field features a full-body, color-enhanced depiction of Hairy Maclary, the beloved scruffy black dog from Lynley Dodd's iconic New Zealand children's book series, rendered in a lively cartoon style with exuberant, wind-swept fur. The dog is shown in mid-stride and wears a blue collar with a red tag, adding vivid color accents against the otherwise monochromatic coin surface. The denomination '$1' appears in the upper left field within a framed cartouche. The opening line of the story curves along the upper and right rims, reading 'Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary', while 'from Donaldson's Dairy.' continues along the lower left rim. The facsimile signature of Lynley Dodd and the copyright notice appear in the lower right field. |
