The tuatara is a native lizard to New Zealand and one of the oldest of all living reptiles. It grows up to 0.6m in length and can be traced back 180 million years. The tuatara has been given special protection by an Act of Parliament.

Die B (1982) similar to A, the scales in the triangle reengraved. It is easy to distinguish it by an additional scale at the top of the triangle.
Die C (1985) 7 enhanced waves, the triangle of tail under the chin consists of separate scales.
Die D - 5 enhanced waves, the triangle of tail under the chin consists of undivided scales.

1967:
with sea line right of Tuatara, common:

without sea line right of Tuatara, rare:


Reports have been received regarding a 1967 dated piece where the tail triangle under the chin appears to be missing from the reverse. This is not a recognised variety and may be the result of a worn die.


These coins were demonetized and withdrawn from circulation in 2006 and many will have been melted down.
