Kiwi 1/4 oz Gold 2015 Proof

The 2015 Kiwi 1/4 oz Gold Proof is an exclusive collector’s coin issued by New Zealand Post in collaboration with the New Zealand Mint. Struck in an ultra‑limited mintage of just 500 pieces worldwide, it is highly coveted by both collectors and investors. This is the first New Zealand gold coin featuring innovative “glow‑in‑the‑dark” technology, enabling selected design elements to illuminate in the dark. The coin contains 1/4 ounce of pure 999.9‑fine gold and carries a face value of 10 New Zealand dollars. Each piece is presented with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity and a premium display case, enhancing its appeal as a gift or collector’s item.

Obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank‑Broadley, surrounded by the legend “ELIZABETH II NEW ZEALAND” and the issue year.

Reverse features a finely detailed depiction of the brown kiwi bird in its natural habitat, framed by silver fern leaves—a national emblem of New Zealand. The top reads “BROWN KIWI Apteryx mantelli”. The coin has a proof finish, with select elements glowing in the dark thanks to glow‑in‑the‑dark technology.
