This is New Zealand's largest and highest valued stamp. It is also one of the most controversial as many stamp collectors believe that rather than responding to demand for a high value postage stamp for documents and parcels, the stamp was a ploy to fleece collectors.

The stamp was printed on water-marked paper with a special surface printed security pattern only visible under black light with the main design recess printed.

The design incorporates several New Zealand icons - Mt Cook, the native Ponga fern and the Kowhai tree flower. A Maori rafter pattern borders at the top while the New Zealand flag is also woven into the engraving.
