Kaka - Silver Coin

This 1oz silver proof coin celebrates the kākā as a taonga (treasure) of Aotearoa New Zealand.

This coin features an illustration of the kākā painted by New Zealand artist Ben Timmins. In the background two ferns crown the bird, as a symbol of protection and guardianship. The ferns are engraved, and the background colour treated to give greater depth to the imagery and highlight the kākā painting.
