New Zealand's oldest operational lighthouse is a well-recognised landmark. Here, the enduring Tiritiri Matangi breaks from its frame to sit near the edge of the coin as if coming out to meet you.
The blue light beam is made of UV ink that glows under black light. By day it is hidden and the lighthouse appears in a solid silver coin, and in the dark with the UV light embedded in the coin box, the light beam shines brightly over its harbour setting and illuminates a yacht from the nearby City of Sails, Auckland.
The ocean background is made from original koru-like motifs to connect the coin distinctly to New Zealand, and symbolise the churning sea.
