A Salute to New Zealand Coinage
Superbly presented in the highest state of preservation “Fleur De Coin” (FDC) or “Flower of the Die,” this distinctive collection includes the world renowned Waitangi Crown the key to the entire New Zealand Pre Decimal coin series. Although designed to commemorate the introduction of NZ’s first official coinage (threepence to crown) in 1933, production of Proof sets was delayed until 1935. This explains the rarity of the threepence. It was not needed for circulation but because it was required for the Proof set, it was decided that a small mintage should be released.
Scarce Quality Polymer Decimal Banknotes - Aussie Ingenuity at it’s Best Developed by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), the polymer note was the world’s first ‘plastic’ banknote.

The first circulating coins were the threepence, sixpence, shilling and half crown. Delays in design meant that the commemorative crown was not issued until 1935. NZ used mainly British and some Australian coins prior to 1933. The Royal Mint, in London, wanted to mint NZ’s new coins and designs were submitted by its coin designers. They were rejected in favour of a more exclusive design that reflected NZ’s culture. NZ was the last self-governing Dominion in the British Commonwealth to have its own unique coinage. Mintage: only 468 sets world-wide.

Proofs of this period were only struck as archival or occasional pieces for special dignitaries and therefore very few were minted. Both British silver and gold coins were especially redesigned for Queen Victoria’s Jubilee and featured a new portrait of the monarch, universally known as the “Jubilee Head.” The portrait appeared on the coins from 1887 to 1893, when it was replaced by an older likeness of the ruler. Proof sets of British silver Jubilee coins are considered very rare and command premium prices. Mintage: only 1500 sets world-wide.
