2025 NZ $1 Water Taniwha 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The Coin Company is excited to present 2025 NZ $1 Water Taniwha 1oz Silver Proof Coin produced by the New Zealand Post.

This 1oz silver proof coin is minted from 0.999 silver, with a mirrored proof finish and a colour illustration of a water taniwha by New Zealand artist Dave Burke. Taniwha are also known to dwell in te ao kikokiko (the terrestrial realm) and there are many narratives speaking of them. These stories give names and locations of taniwha, and they also describe what form and appearance each taniwha assumes. There are also waiata (songs) and haka (dances) attributed to their taniwha. Taniwha in their earthly form are often elemental in apperance, such as wood, wind, water or stone. Whether celestial or terrestrial, taniwha are a special part of te ao Māori and the peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Discover the supernatural stories of taniwha with legal tender commemorative coins from Aotearoa New Zealand.

No more than 750 of the 2025 NZ $1 Water Taniwha 1oz Silver Proof Coin will be released.
