There are a total of seven different denominations. You get the Halfpenny, Penny, Theepence, Sixpence, Shilling, Florin and Halfcrown, six different coins, six different denominations. The lower two denominations are struck in bronze and the higher five in cupronickel. Dates will vary, but all will have the Queen’s portrait and all are pre-decimal coins. Today New Zealand only issues decimal coinage and even some of them, the 1c and 2c are no longer being made...

About ten years ago we bought a large group of silver Groats or 4d from British Guiana. British Guiana is at the top of South America and the coins we bought have been ‘misplaced’ for ten years or more. Peter not only found them but also found out how many we had. These are difficult coins to find and are some of the last of the silver groats issued. Here we offer the 1945 Groat. They were struck in silver and are in selected circulated condition. Now that Peter has found them, We can offer them to our collectors, but supplies are very limited. A Scarce coin that several dealers in the Far East wanted, but we couldn’t find them at the time…
