This set features Brilliant Uncirculated versions of New Zealand’s currency coins. Collectively the coins feature many well-known New Zealand symbols such as the Māori carved mask, known as a ‘kōruru’ on the 10-cent coin, and the HMS Endeavour, the ship of Captain James Cook, on the 50-cent coin.
The coins are slightly heavier than the regular circulation coins, and are also made of metals that differ from those of the circulation coinage.
The set is issued by NZ Post, the official issuer of New Zealand stamps and commemorative coins, under the authority of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand; the coins themselves were struck by the Royal Dutch Mint. |
