| Reverse description | Central design features a finely detailed depiction of a butterflyfish in profile, rendered with precise engraving showing scaled body texture, dorsal and caudal fins, and a distinctive circular ocular marking on the flank. The fish is positioned centrally within a dark mirror-proof field. The fantasy territorial inscription 'COAL ISLAND' arcs along the upper border, while the denomination numeral '1' appears prominently in the lower left, accompanied by a small 'd' denomination indicator. The overall composition reflects a high-relief proof strike. |

| Additional information |
Part of New Zealand Post's long-running Antipodean Dollar series, this issue highlights Coal Island (Te Puka o Te Waka a Māui) in Foveaux Strait — a predator-free reserve managed by the Department of Conservation that has become a critical refuge for Fiordland crested penguins and Whenua Hou diving petrels. The commemorative dollar program, which pairs the fourth Maklouf portrait of Elizabeth II with conservation subjects, has no legal tender circulation function in practice; these are sold directly to collectors.
