Papua New Guinea has issued its circulating currency, the Kina, since 1975 (it was introduced even before the country gained formal independence).

The country also authorises some foreign mints to issue Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) coins under its jurisdiction. These coins are usually in popular international collector formats, such as one troy ounce (1oz) of silver.

Around above, the name of the country: PAPUA NEW GUINEA.

Divided by the emblem, the date of issue: [year].
