New Zealand 2019 1 OZ Silver Proof 5 Dollars Coin- North Island Takahe

  
There is one reference to a possible European sighting of a moho. It was reported that in 1894 a surveyor captured a large, unfamiliar blue bird in the northern Ruahine Range, causing great excitement among Maori elders who were shown the skin. This specimen has not survived, but it is tentatively regarded as having been a North Island takahe. This stunning 1oz silver proof coin was designed by New Zealand artist Dave Burke. The extinct North Island takahe is imagined here with the plumage of its South Island counterpart.

The takahe is encircled by unique koru designs, layered to make the bird's beak visually protrude from the flat surface. The coin is also available with vivid colour printing on the takahe, as part of the 2019 New Zealand Proof Currency Set.
