The obverse of 1 oz Gold Kiwi Rounds features the two major islands that form New Zealand. The simple, clean design on this side includes the four stars of the Southern Cross and the Maori name for New Zealand, AOTEAROA. This term translates to English as land of the long white cloud.

On the reverse of 1 oz New Zealand Gold Kiwis, you’ll find a depiction of the nation’s iconic flightless bird. In this design, the bird is shown in right-profile relief with its head raised, symbolizing the optimism and pride of New Zealanders. The kiwi bird, a well-known emblem of New Zealand, has lived on the islands for millions of years, adapting in isolation without natural mammalian predators. When the Māori arrived around 1300 CE, they revered the kiwi as a sacred creature, using its feathers to craft esteemed cloaks (kahu kiwi) for chiefs while also hunting the bird in a sustainable manner for food.

The arrival of European settlers in the 19th century had a profound impact on the kiwi, as the introduction of predators such as stoats, cats, and dogs, along with widespread deforestation for agriculture and development, put the species at risk. By the early 20th century, kiwi numbers had declined sharply, leading to conservation initiatives that persist today, including breeding programs, predator-free reserves, and community-driven efforts to safeguard these beloved, flightless birds now regarded as a national symbol.
