Overview

The reverse features a leaf of the Silver Fern (Cyathea dealbata) curved around the numeral '1'. The obverse typically features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1967 when New Zealand converted its currency from the New Zealand pound to the decimal New Zealand dollar. The silver fern is a national emblem of New Zealand. These coins were demonetized in 1990.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $2.00 USD (Common dates in circulated condition are worth face value; uncirculated or key dates may be higher)

Care & preservation

Store in a dry, cool place within a PVC-free coin holder or capsule. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can damage the original luster and decrease numismatic value.
