This set of coins focuses on the battle between Kupe and the mighty octopus, Te Wheke-o-Muturangi. The first shows a close-up of Kupe entangled in the octopus, with detailed illustrations of the tattoos that adorned great Polynesian navigators. Kupe fights the wheke with his adze, Ranga-tū-whēnua. The second shows the great octopus under the waka, with the Matariki constellation above. Both coins are colour-printed with the vivid designs by New Zealand artist Dave Burke.
