| Reverse description | The reverse displays a centrally positioned, gold-plated relief of a Giant Kokopu (Galaxias argenteus), a rare and threatened freshwater fish endemic to New Zealand, presented in naturalistic profile swimming to the left. The fish is selectively gold-plated in .999 fine gold, creating a vivid two-tone contrast against the polished silver proof field. Surrounding the central motif is a circular device incorporating finely detailed aquatic vegetation, including submerged plants and emergent reeds, evoking the species' natural freshwater habitat. The denomination FIVE DOLLARS arcs boldly across the upper register, while the species name GIANT KOKOPU is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
