New Zealand Bank Notes Journey The first series of banknotes issued by the Reserve Bank in 1934 were supposed to be temporary. They were hastily designed and included features from notes already in circulation. The notes were also printed in New Zealand using the original plates from Thomas De La Rue. The first series of banknotes featured the kiwi bird, the New Zealand emblem, and King Tawhiao (the second Maori king) on the obverse side and a sketch of Mitre Peak on the reverse side. The notes were withdrawn in 1941.
The second series of banknotes were issued in 1940. These notes replaced the portrait of King Tawhiao with Captain James Cook, the sketch of Mitre Peak with different landmarks on the reverse side
