The 2024 Kiwi coin was struck by the New Zealand Post from 1 ounce of 99.9% silver in proof quality and features a Great Spotted Kiwi (Apteryx maxima) on the shores of Lake Rotoiti in Nelson Lakes National Park. The design also includes the inscription "ROROA GREAT SPOTTED KIWI Apteryx maxima" and the denomination. The reverse features the portrait of King Charles III with the inscriptions "NEW ZEALAND", ".999 Ag 1oz", "CHARLES III" and "2024".

The great spotted kiwi is also known as the roroa and is one of the largest kiwi species found in New Zealand. Its natural habitat is the north-west of the South Island, particularly the Kahurangi, Paparoa and Arthur's Pass National Parks. On the eastern shore of Lake Rotoiti in Nelson Lakes National Park, the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project (RNRP) has created a 5,000-hectare forest area in which intensive predator control is carried out to provide a safe home for the roroa and other endemic species. Today, around 50 roroa live on the shores of Lake Rotoiti and in the surrounding beech forests. The Kiwi Silver Coin in Color is limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide. The coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of the New Zealand Post.
