Te ao Māori (the Māori world) has many mythological references to supernatural beings that dwell in te ao wairua (the spiritual realm) or te ao kikokiko (the terrestrial realm). Taniwha feature prominently within this lore as powerful entities that can have both positive or a negative influence on people and environments. Although they are often depicted as fearsome in appearance, they can appear in many different forms.
This official New Zealand, one ounce, 99.9% pure silver proof collector coin is minted featuring a full-colour depiction of the mighty cave taniwha created by New Zealand artist Dave Burke. Taniwha in their earthly form are often elemental in appearance, such as wood, wind, water or stone. Whether celestial or terrestrial, taniwha are a special part of te ao Māori and the peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand.
