| Reverse description | A crouching Māori warrior, rendered in bold relief by engraver George Kruger Gray, is depicted facing left and brandishing a taiaha (a long-handled traditional Māori staff weapon) in an aggressive, challenging posture. The inscription NEW ZEALAND arcs across the upper field, while the denomination ONE SHILLING and the date appear in the lower field. The design is framed by a plain inner border with dentillation at the rim, evoking the powerful iconography of Māori culture introduced for New Zealand's inaugural coinage series. |
