| Obverse description | Central field depicts a detailed engraving of a square-rigged sailing vessel at sea, shown broadside with full masting and rigging rendered in fine relief against a lightly textured ocean surface; to the right, a rocky coastal promontory with a standing figure is visible, evoking the Timaru roadstead. The legend NEW ZEALAND arcs across the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, while TIMARU appears in a recessed rectangular panel along the lower border. The coin is bordered by a continuous beaded rim encircling the entire design. |
