Product Description

New Zealand - 2021 - Silver Dollar Proof Coin - Discover New Zealand - Tui
Mintage: 1,000

Collect the first in the Discover New Zealand series with a stunning coin celebrating New Zealand’s unique tūī bird.

Highlights 

  • The first coin in a new series celebrating New Zealand’s natural wonders
  • Minted from 0.999 silver with selective colour
  • Low worldwide mintage of 1,000
  • Features a stunning image of the tūī, a bird unique to Aotearoa New Zealand.

Design 

The hero of this coin is a stunning photographic image of the tūī feeding from harakeke, New Zealand flax, with the background of the central image printed over a layer of white ink to highlight the bird in the foreground. This vivid image is framed by the engraved high-relief kaitiaki (guardian). The kaitiaki not only acts as a unifying feature that acknowledges Māori as tangata whenua (the people of the land), but is a minder or caregiver, protecting the taonga (treasure) encapsulated by the coin.
