Comment
From the Reserve Bank of New Zealand website, on the significance of the design: "Koruru feature particularly strongly at the apex of the gable of a large carved house that was symbolic of the face of an important Māori ancestor from that part of the country. This particular koruru was designed by Mr. James Berry specifically for use on New Zealand currency and is representative of designs from various regions."
From 2010 the 10 cent coins included in the BU & Proof Sets have been struck at the Royal Dutch Mint. (Except for the Unofficial BU Sets of 2014 & 2015 which were struck at the Royal Canadian Mint). They are different to the circulation coins in that they are non-magnetic being made from copper instead of copper plated steel and have a different weight.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a non-magnetic copper alloy, which is a unique feature for a coin. This was done as a special feature to differentiate it from other coins in the set and to add an extra layer of collectibility.
