Comments

Stewart Island/Rakiura (commonly called Stewart Island) is the third-largest island of New Zealand. It lies 30 kilometres south of the South Island, across the Foveaux Strait. Its permanent population is 381 people as of the 2013 census, most of whom live in the settlement of Oban on the eastern side of the island.
Rakiura Independence events, including a declaration of independence, the issuance of postage stamps and selling of passports, though they were done more as fund raisers for local needs rather a than a political movement. An attractive Rakiura coin was recently issued. One side depicts a multi-colored tattooed Maori Warrior, sticking out his tongue and holding a taiaha (a sharp-pointed war club). Above him is the legend "INDEPENDENT RAKIURA". The other side features a Maori hei-tiki (neck pendant) and a taiaha. The unofficial coin is denominated as 10 Pera Pango (Maori for Black Pearl) and is dated 2017. The 40mm silver plated Proof coin has a mintage of only 150 pieces.
