The 2026 Kiwi coin was struck by the New Zealand Post from 1 ounce of 99.9% silver in uncirculated quality and features a Specimen finish. The coin was designed by Māori artist Shane Hansen and is characterized by detailed engravings. It features a brown kiwi from the North Island calling out at night, with Marama (the moon) above it. As a tribute to the ongoing recovery of the bird population, the artist was inspired by the sounds of kiwis near his home. The design also includes the inscription “TE KIWI NUI” and the denomination. The reverse features the portrait of King Charles III with the inscriptions “NEW ZEALAND”, “.999 Ag 1oz”, “CHARLES III” and “2026”.

The kiwi is a flightless bird found exclusively in New Zealand. With its long beak, which has nostrils at the tip, it searches for insects and worms in the ground – a unique feature among birds. Kiwis are nocturnal, have dense, hair-like plumage, and lay eggs that are exceptionally large in relation to their body size. Due to habitat loss and introduced predators, many kiwi species are considered endangered. The kiwi is widely regarded as a very important cultural symbol for New Zealand. The Specimen Finish Kiwi Silver Coin is limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide and is delivered in an illustrated blistercard from the New Zealand Post.
