New Zealand- 2015 1 OZ Silver Proof Coin- Brown Kiwi Coin

  
In a New Zealand first, the kiwi's nocturnal nature is reflected in the innovative design of the coin. Through the use of specialist pad printing, the glow-in-the-dark ink can be applied to just the image of the kiwi and not the rest of the coin. New Zealand's kiwi is a favourite for its unique appearance and charming behaviour, but unfortunately it's a vanishing icon. The kiwi featured on the coin, the North Island brown kiwi, is declining at a rate of nearly 4% per year, due to changes in habitat and introduced predators.

This stunning silver coin features the innovative glow-in-the-dark kiwi as well as the species name bordering the coin, framed by brilliant green New Zealand ferns. Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, United Kingdom. This item is in the category "Coins & Paper Money\Coins: World\Australia & Oceania\New Zealand".
