New Zealand, George VI, Halfpenny 1941 Circulated

Since 1970 Australia has issued commemorative 50 Cent coins, this coin is the largest sized coin that actually circulates. We have bought a nice group of these coins in Very Fine condition, many of the dates are in very limited quantities. Here we offer the 'Queen's Jubilee' edition from 1977.

In 1947 New Zealand changed their coins over from silver to cupro-nickel. But as India got its independence, they had to change King George VI’s title from Emperor to King the very next year. That makes the 1947 coinage of New Zealand a one year type coinage. You get the Halfcrown, Florin, Shilling, Sixpence and Threepence in cupro-nickel plus the bronze Penny and Halfpenny. They were the first of the new coinage, but they only lasted a year. All coins are in selected circulated condition. Well worth adding to your collection, after all it is George VI and a one year type

This is a fantastic coin because it represents two countries that no longer exist and yet it carries the portrait of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. It is a 10 Cents issued by Malaya & British Borneo in 1961 just 9 years after she took the throne and the last year that they were issued. They are in Uncirculated condition but have mellowed just a bit over the past 61 years. Very Difficult to find today and somewhat rare.
