2013 New Zealand Proof Currency Set, Coin Set from New Zealand - detailed information

This set features proof versions of New Zealand’s currency coins, minted to the finest quality proof finish. 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.

Included in the proof currency set is also the 2013 New Zealand annual coin in brilliant uncirculated quality. This unique $5 coin features the New Zealand short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata). This ancient species is unique to New Zealand, and is listed by the Department of Conservation as a "species of highest conservation priority".

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.
