| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, as designed by sculptor Steven Joachim Feltham, occupies the central field. The portrait renders the King in a naturalistic, contemporary style without crown or regalia, with fine detail in the hair and facial features. The legend CHARLES III · NEW ZEALAND arcs around the upper periphery, while the fineness mark .999 Ag 2oz appears along the lower left and the date 2025 along the lower right. The engraver's initials SJF are inscribed discreetly beneath the portrait truncation. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a vivid full-color depiction of a Taniwha, the supernatural creature of Māori mythology, rendered in an intricate style blending traditional koru scrollwork with dynamic flame motifs in fiery shades of orange, red, and gold. The creature's fierce visage, with multiple eyes and stylized claws, emerges from swirling coils of ornamental patterning that fill the entire inner disc. A broad border of engraved Māori-inspired decorative relief surrounds the colored insert, giving the design a layered, dimensional quality. The legend TANIWHA · FIFTY CENTS is inscribed along the upper rim in capital letters. |
