First issue of New Zealand Banknotes New Zealand Pound History of NZ Notes Notes before NZ Dollar

The first series was heavily influenced by Māori motifs. In advance, I want to introduce you to some words from the Māori language that we will use in this video. Kowhaiwhai are Māori motifs. They are a way to tell a story and each has a meaning. Kowhaiwhai patterns are traditionally painted in wharenui (meeting houses), storehouses, on the prow of canoe or on many forms of carving such as boat paddles or water containers. A poupou is a wall panel located underneath the veranda of a Māori wharenui (meeting house). It is generally built to represent the spiritual connection between the tribe and their ancestors and thus each poupou is carved with emblems of the Māori-Master wood-carvers particular lineage. A wharenui is a communal house of the Māori people of New Zealand, generally situated as the focal point of a marae (A marae is a fenced-in complex of carved buildings and grounds that belongs to a particular tribe, sub-tribe or family). Wharenui are usually called meeting houses in New Zealand English, or simply called whare (a more generic term simply referring to a house or building). Before 1934, a number of trading banks issued their own banknotes in New Zealand and were not obligated to accept each other's banknotes. By the 1920s there was a general desire to have a single national currency. Accordingly, the Reserve Bank was established in 1934 as the sole authority for issuing New Zealand's national banknotes, while the New Zealand Treasury had responsibility for issuing new coins. New Zealand was the last British dominion to establish a national currency. The Reserve Bank has released seven different issues of New Zealand bank notes. Two issues took place when the New Zealand pound was the national currency, and the remaining five issues have taken place since New Zealand switched to decimal currency in 1967, to the New Zealand dollar. The first New Zealand banknotes were released on 1 August 1934, signed by the first Governor of the Reserve Bank, Leslie Lefeaux. The first issue was printed by Thomas de la Rue and his company based in London, and included notes with the denomination of ten shillings, one pound, £5 and £50. The banknotes were all the same size: 7 by 3.5 inches. The colours of the original banknotes were similar to the previous trading banknotes. All the notes carried the same design, but different colours distinguished the denominations and in the borders, which featured Māori motifs. Each note was printed with its respective value and unique serial number. The first issue notes were designed at short notice and intended to be temporary for that reason. The features were based on notes already in circulation and included Māori iconography; each note featured a kiwi, the New Zealand coat of arms, Mitre Peak in Fiordland is the main image on the back, on which the value of each note is also printed, and a portrait of King Tawhiao, the second Māori king. The watermark was the text: The Reserve Bank of New Zealand in capitals. The first-series 10-shilling note is a dark orange-red. Its border comprises carvings of Māori figures on the sides and kowhaiwhai patterns at the top and bottom. The carvings are based on a poupou from an old village in Maketu, Bay of Plenty. The kowhaiwhai, Ngutu Kura (Whale), is based on the hammerhead shark. At each corner, 10 slash dash is written. On the reverse, it is written in numerals and symbols, and in words. The first-series £1 banknote is mauve. The border resembles that of the 10-shilling note, but the carvings on the sides are based on the amo (House Post Figure) on the wharenui (meeting house) Hinemihi of the Old World. On the back, £1 is written in numerals and words. The first-series £5 banknote is blue-green. The carvings on the sides are based on the memorial tomb of an unknown Māori chief from the Te Kuiti area. The kowhaiwhai pattern is called Maui and was designed by Tamati Ngakaho of Ngati Porou (are the largest social units in New Zealand Māori society). The hook-like spirals, which feature on Ngati Porou canoes and buildings, represent discovery. The denomination is printed on each corner, and is written in numerals and words on the back. The first-series £50 banknote is red. The carvings on the side are based on door-frame carvings from an early-19th-century Te Arawa wharenui (meeting house) in the Rotorua lakes area. The carving was acquired by Thomas Gillies and gifted to the Auckland Museum in 1877. The kowhaiwhai pattern is called Kowhai Ngutukaka, and is based on the kaka beak, a native plant. The pattern is said to represent placing the interests of family and country before personal welfare. The zigzag kaokao pattern represents strength. On the back, the denomination is written in numerals and words. #newzealanpound #māori #poupou #Kowhaiwhai #wharenui #newzelanaddollar #newzealandcurrency #newzealandbanknotes #newzealandbills #newzealandnotes
