2026 New Zealand 1 oz Silver North Island Brown Kiwi Specimen

---

This silver specimen piece celebrates one of the world's most unusual avian residents, the flightless North Island brown kiwi. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the coin captures a nocturnal moment designed by Maori artist Shane Hansen. On the reverse, the kiwi is depicted calling out into the darkness under the glow of the moon, bringing a distinctive cultural and natural perspective to the medium of precious metal. Authorized as legal tender by the New Zealand government and issued through the New Zealand Post, the coin carries the official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on its obverse. Alongside the King's portrait, the inscriptions note the issuing nation of New Zealand and the year 2026. This release is limited to a worldwide mintage of 5,000 pieces, making it a highly focused tribute to a beloved national symbol.
