1953-1965 New Zealand Copper-Nickel Florin Elizabeth II BU
1953-1965 New Zealand Copper-Nickel Florin Elizabeth II BU
During the mid-twentieth century, New Zealand issued a distinctive copper-nickel florin that beautifully captures the nation's identity. Minted between 1953 and 1965, this one-florin denomination is preserved in brilliant uncirculated condition, offering a crisp look at a classic design transition. The obverse of the coin presents a youthful, laureate portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, marking the early years of her historic reign. This elegant royal likeness contrasts wonderfully with the reverse, which celebrates New Zealand's unique natural heritage by depicting a native kiwi bird facing left. Cataloged as KM#28.1 and KM#28.2, this coin remains a favorite for those fascinated by Commonwealth currency and wildlife-themed coinage.
