Twenty Cents 1999 (mint sets only), Coin from New Zealand - detailed information

Twenty Cents 1999 (mint sets only), Coin from New Zealand (demonetised 2006)
CoinTwenty Cents 1999 (mint sets only)

With the introduction of decimal currency on 10 July 1967, the new 20 cents denomination was equal to one florin (two shillings) of the earlier pre-decimal currency. The two coins were identical in size and florins remained in circulation (and legal tender) in parallel with the new coins until they were both demonetised in 2006, when a smaller twenty cent coin was introduced instead.

Twenty cent coins were only issued in mint sets in 1999 (not intended for circulation); any that were released would have circulated circulated for seven years before they were demonetised on 31 October 2006.

Obverse

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 1999.
