1933 to 1935 New Zealand - Silver Half Crown Three-Coin Set

New Zealand 1933–1935 Half Crown Silver Three-Coin Set

This set features the first three years of the New Zealand Half Crown, a prestigious denomination in the nation’s pre-decimal history. Struck at the Royal Mint in London, these coins represent the King George V era and feature the beautifully intricate Māori ornamental designs that distinguish New Zealand's silver coinage.

Included in this bundle is the 1935 Half Crown, which is the key date of the regular George V series with a significantly lower mintage of only 612,000.
