Overview

The reverse features a kiwi bird standing on a branch, facing left, with the word 'NEW ZEALAND' and '3d' (the denomination). The obverse (not shown) depicts Queen Elizabeth II.

Historical significance

This coin was part of the pre-decimal currency system in New Zealand. 1964 was among the final years of production before the country transitioned to decimal currency (Dollars and Cents) in 1967.

Estimated value

Approximately $0.10 - $1.00 USD, depending on condition. The visible green corrosion (verdigris) significantly reduces its value to collectors.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within an acid-free holder. Avoid 'cleaning' the coin with abrasives or chemicals, though a soak in distilled water may help stabilize organic residue. The green spots indicate verdigris, which can be damaging if not kept in a low-humidity environment.
