New Zealand's first circular postage stamp was issued
on the 19th of October 1988. The one dollar stamp features a Kiwi in
it's natural environment recess printed in green. The Maori motif
around the border represents the flower of the Kowhai tree - which
symbolises the continuous cycle of life.
The Round Kiwi stamp was issued in booklets of six
stamps as illustrated above, and has subsequently been reissued many times
in different colours and denominations.
