Comment
Unusual among kiwi, tokoeka are sometimes active during the daytime. On Rakiura they are often spotted by visitors and can sometimes be seen on the beach foraging for food. Tokoeka protect each other by living in family units, with offspring staying as helpers to their parents for up to seven years, sharing the task of incubating their siblings before they hatch. The combined population numbers for the three tokoeka taxa make it the most numerous kiwi species, with over 30,000 birds in the wild.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of the Tokoeka Kiwi, a flightless bird native to New Zealand, on the reverse side. The Tokoeka Kiwi is a rare and endangered species, and the coin's design aims to raise awareness about the importance of conservation efforts to protect this magnificent bird.
