Over 3 million notes were put into circulation. The most used color is dark blue. New Zealand can be seen in the upper left corner with the planet earth behind it.. There is a see-through window on the left with metallic ink in the shape of a fern. On the back are surfers and boats which have Māori people in them and a water skier. There is a perfect register of a sea shell in the lower left corner next to the map of New Zealand. When help up to light the shell(s) should be a perfect match.[4]

Sheppard, a woman who pressed for women's suffrage in New Zealand, the first nation to have voting rights for women, in 1893, is now on the front. The flower pictured next to her is the white camellia, a symbol for universal suffrage for New Zealand. On the back is the Whio or a Blue Duck. This bird is an endangered species in New Zealand. Between the portrait and the Camellia is a map of New Zealand. The note has a light blue background with ferns.[2][7]

There is intaglio printing through the bill which gives it an embossed feel. Under UV light a yellow patch will appear with the denomination of the bill. There is a perfect register of a fern located above the see-through window, the two sides should be perfect when held up to the light.[8]
