New Zealand Post, not the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, issued this piece — a distinction that matters. It carries legal tender status under a licensing arrangement but was never intended for circulation, produced entirely for the collector market. The subject draws from Māori oral tradition: Māui, the demigod, is said to have fished the North Island of New Zealand from the sea using his grandmother's jawbone as a hook, the island itself referred to in Māori as Te Ika-a-Māui — the fish of Māui.
The 15.5517 g weight is exactly one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.
