These 0.999 silver proof coins come with an individually numbered
certificate, housed in a high quality case. Mintage is limited to just
400 sets, worldwide.
The first coin in this set depicts an enraged Māui using his divine
powers to transform his brother-in-law into a beast – the first dog of
New Zealand. The second coin shows a forlorn Irawaru transformed into a
dog, and his wife, Māui’s sister Hinauri, crying at the loss of her
husband. Both coins are embellished with unique koru designs. The coins
are minted to the highest proof quality to showcase the finest details
in the design.
