New Zealand, George VI, Penny 1952 Fine

World War II period silver 10c coins in Extremely Fine condition.

In 2005 the African nation of Malawi issued a set of four crownsized 10 Kwacha coins depicting Endangered Wildlife. These are beautiful silvered pieces in gleaming Proof condition. If we didn’t tell you they were silvered you would swear that they are actually silver. There were four crowns issued, The Pigmy Hippo (KM83), The Chevrotain (KM81), The Lemur on a branch (KM82) and The Tree Pangolin (KM71) all are wildlife that is endangered of ceasing to exist. You can own one or the whole collection of four pieces, in either case they are beautiful and we are sure you will fall in love with them. Each piece comes in a protective capsule to keep the coins looking gleaming and bright. Offered here is the Tree Pangolin (KM71).

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
