Reverse

Te Hau Raki is the warm wind that blows from the north, from Te Hiku o Te Ika (The Tail of the Fish). It follows the tail to the end, to Te Reinga, to where two seas meet and marks the pathway of the spirits to Hawaiki—the spiritual homeland of Māori.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines traditional Maori motifs with modern coin design. The coin's reverse side features a pattern of interlocking koru, a symbol of new life and growth in Maori culture, surrounding a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This blend of traditional and modern elements makes the coin a distinctive and beautiful collector's item.
