Description

Every year New Zealand Post releases a coin commemorating one of Aotearoa’s extinct animals. This vivid coin recalls the recently discovered Chatham Island crested penguin, a unique species that existed on this remote archipelago until only a few hundred years ago.

Highlights

  • First commemorative coin in the world to feature this recently discovered species
  • Very low worldwide mintage of 750
  • Designed by renowned New Zealand artist Dave Burke
  • $5 denomination
  • Minted from 0.999 silver.

Design

This vividly illustrated 2oz silver proof coin was designed by New Zealand artist Dave Burke. Two Chatham Island crested penguins are imagined here with a stormy backdrop familiar to inhabitants of the Chatham Islands. The birds are encircled by an arc of koru designs. The coin is also available in a 1oz format as part of the 2020 New Zealand Proof Currency Set.
