| Reverse description | Boldly engraved three-quarter bust portrait of a Maori warrior facing slightly left, displaying prominent moko (traditional facial tattoo) covering the face with intricate spiral and curvilinear designs. The figure wears a feathered headdress, a hei-tiki-style bead necklace, and a woven cloak (korowai), and holds a taiaha (long-handled spear) to the left and a decorated shield (taiaha or patu) to the right. The legend ADVANCE NEW ZEALAND arcs around the upper field. The portrait is rendered with exceptional ethnographic detail for the period, enclosed within a beaded inner border. |
