2025 New Zealand 1 oz Silver Dwelling Taniwha: Water BU
2025 New Zealand 1 oz Silver Dwelling Taniwha: Water BU
This brilliant uncirculated silver coin marks the second release in New Zealand's compelling Dwelling Taniwha series. Struck in one ounce of 0.999 pure silver, the piece brings to life a powerful water-dwelling guardian from Maori tradition. The reverse design portrays the Waikato taniwha rau, a legendary entity deeply connected to the Waikato Tainui people and the historic Kingitanga Movement. On the obverse, the coin displays the official portrait of King Charles III. Surrounding the effigy are inscriptions confirming the coin's legal tender status, the year 2025, and its silver purity. Issued officially by the government of New Zealand, this striking 50-cent piece has a strictly limited global release of only 10,000 coins, making it a fascinating study in cultural storytelling and modern minting.
