Huia Legacy is part of the ‘Lost and Found Series’
This hand-embossed pewter coin is a one-of-a-kind replica of the 1963 New Zealand Sixpence, featuring the Huia bird. Nostalgic and quintessentially Kiwiana, this piece recalls a time when the coin was part of everyday life, they carry stories of earlier days and serve as reminders of New Zealand’s natural heritage.
Through Huia Legacy, I invite viewers to reflect on the memories that shape our sense of identity, while also recognising the importance of appreciating what we often take for granted. This artwork encourages us to smile, remember the good times, and a reminder to continue to cherish and protect our heritage for future generations.
