| Reverse description | Central field depicts a large, highly detailed octopus with sinuously curling tentacles adorned with sucker detail, rendered in a style incorporating traditional Māori koru scroll motifs in the surrounding wave elements. In the upper right background, a traditional Polynesian waka hourua (double-hulled sailing canoe) is shown navigating starlit seas beneath a clouded sky with four prominent star points. The scene alludes to the legendary Māori navigator Kupe. The border features an ornamental band of Māori-inspired spiral scroll decoration, with the bilingual denomination legend TEN DOLLARS • TEKAU TĀRA arcing along the upper rim and KUPE • THE GREAT NAVIGATOR along the lower rim. |
