| Reverse description | A dynamic depiction of the taniwha, the fearsome supernatural creature of Māori tradition, surging forth from turbulent, swirling waters rendered in intricate detail. The powerful serpentine form of the creature dominates the central field, its body entwined with cresting waves that evoke its role as a guardian spirit of rivers, lakes, and the sea. The bilingual denomination inscription 'TEKAU TĀRA TEN DOLLARS' is presented in the legend, incorporating both te reo Māori and English. |
