Overview

Historical significance

This coin was issued during New Zealand's transition from the British-style £sd (pounds, shillings, pence) system to the decimal dollar system on July 10, 1967. The dual denomination design helped the public understand that the new 10-cent coin had the same value as the old one-shilling coin.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $2.00 USD (Depends heavily on condition; circulated examples are generally face value or slightly above for silver content hunters, though these 1967- era coins are copper-nickel).

Care & preservation

Do not clean the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can permanently damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a dry, cool place, preferably in a non-PVC coin flip or holder to prevent oxidation.
