Fifty Cents 2015 ANZAC, Coin from New Zealand
CoinFifty Cents 2015 ANZAC

The ANZAC 50 Cents coloured coin was launched in February 2015 to honour the spirit of ANZAC (the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) that was formed 100 years earlier.

It is the first time in New Zealand's history that a coloured circulating coin has been produced. The coin was released for circulation but has since been avidly hoarded by collectors. The mintage figure of one million represents the size of the New Zealand population in 1914, of which 10 percent served in the First World War.

The obverse shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the date: NEW ZEALAND ELIZABETH II 2015.

New Zealand / Fifty Cents 2015 ANZAC - reverse photo

The Anzac coin design features a New Zealand and Australian soldier standing back to back with their heads bowed in remembrance. The mangopare (hammerhead shark) pattern symbolises strength and determination, and the silver fern reflects New Zealand’s national identity.

To represent New Zealand’s national colours, the mangopare is coloured white on the coin, with the background coloured black. Around below the souldiers' feet, the dates 1915 - 2015.

Around above in the outer ring, · THE SPIRIT OF ANZAC · WE WILL REMEMBER THEM ·; around below, the value and denomination 50 CENTS.
