About this Coin

Issued to mark the historic coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953, this crown-sized piece is a landmark issue in modern New Zealand decimal and pre-decimal numismatics. Struck by the Royal Mint in London, the coin cleverly combines regal iconography with traditional Māori artwork. With a limited mintage of just 250,000 pieces, finding pristine Uncirculated examples with sharp detail and original surface brilliance remains a priority for collectors of British Commonwealth and Royal commemorative coinage.
