New Zealand, 6 coin Mint Set

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

The Netherlands issued their own coinage, but now only use Euro coins; the old coins are, in fact, no longer valid. But since it looks like the Euro and the European Union might be in trouble and hopefully disband, their old coins might just become very collectable. One of our suppliers has put together type sets of the old, pre-Euro coins that each country used to use. It is getting harder and harder to find the coins to make up these sets, so supplies are limited. All coins are circulated, which means that they were actually used as money. You get the 5 Gulden, 1 Gulden, 25c 10c and 5c coins.

We have a wonderful collection of French coins issued just before they started to issue Euro coins. There are nine different French coins in this collection, all in selected circulated condition. There are two different 10 Franc coins including a bi-metallic one. You get the 5, 10 and 20 Centimes plus the 1/2 Franc, 1, 2, 5 Francs plus two types of the 10 Francs. A total of nine different French coins, all used before the Euro existed and who knows they might need them again… Not easy to put nine different French coins together, but we have. You can own the entire collection for a very reasonable price. If the Euro ceases to exist, they might use Francs again…
