The obverse of the 1 oz Gold Kiwi Round features a minimalist design that pays tribute to New Zealand. It prominently displays the two main islands, along with the four stars of the Southern Cross constellation. Also included is the Maori name for New Zealand, “AOTEAROA,” which translates to “land of the long white cloud.”

The reverse of the 1 oz New Zealand Gold Kiwi Round showcases a right-profile view of the kiwi bird. In this design, the bird is depicted with its head raised, representing the resilience and pride of New Zealanders. The kiwi, a flightless bird native to the country, has long been a cultural icon. The Māori people held the kiwi in high regard, using its feathers for ceremonial cloaks and practicing sustainable hunting.

European colonization in the 19th century brought significant challenges to the kiwi population. Introduced predators such as stoats, cats, and dogs, coupled with deforestation, led to a dramatic decline in their numbers. By the early 20th century, the species was at risk, prompting conservation efforts that continue today. Protection initiatives include breeding programs, predator-free sanctuaries, and community-driven projects to safeguard these treasured birds.

Each 1 oz New Zealand Gold Kiwi Round is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and arrives in an assay card from the New Zealand Mint, verifying its authenticity. These rounds come from various production years, and we cannot guarantee a specific year in advance.
