Obverse

The obverse of the 1 oz Gold Kiwi Round highlights New Zealands geography and culture. The design features the countrys two main islands along with the four stars of the Southern Cross. Also present is the Mori name for New Zealand, AOTEAROA, meaning land of the long white cloud. This simple yet meaningful design honors the countrys heritage and connection to the night sky.

Reverse

On the reverse, the 1 oz New Zealand Gold Kiwi Round showcases a right-facing image of the kiwi bird. With its head lifted, the kiwi serves as a symbol of pride and perseverance for the people of New Zealand. Native to the islands, this flightless bird thrived for millions of years without natural mammalian predators. The Mori revered the kiwi, using its feathers for prestigious cloaks and hunting it in moderation for food.

History

The arrival of European settlers in the 19th century posed new threats to the kiwi population. Introduced species such as stoats, cats, and dogs, combined with habitat loss due to deforestation, caused a sharp decline in kiwi numbers. In response, conservation programs were launched in the 20th century. Today, breeding programs, predator-free sanctuaries, and dedicated conservation groups continue working to protect this cherished species.
