2023 New Zealand Proof Set w/1-oz Silver Annual Coin
Annual “Kiwi” Currency Proof Sets From New Zealand
New Zealand is a small island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean that’s home to around 4.5 million people. It’s famous for its national rugby team, its indigenous Māori culture, and its striking landscape—picturesque scenery that was used for the filming of Peter Jackson’s Academy Award-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy. The people living there call themselves Kiwis after the flightless bird that represents their country. They also prefer cold hard cash to digital currency. In fact, according to a recent poll, around 92 percent of those surveyed said they preferred cash to digital currency with one individual even saying that hard currency was “As important to the whole population as access to clean water!”
Proof Versions Of New Zealand’s Circulating Currency
Here you can quench your thirst for exotic currency with this 2023 New Zealand Annual Proof Set that features proof versions of New Zealand’s circulating currency coins along with a special, one-year-only one-ounce silver Proof that was available only in this set! Not only do these 2023-dated coins represent proof versions of New Zealand’s circulating currency coins, but they feature many well-known New Zealand symbols including:
● A Māori carved mask, known as a “kōruru” on the 10-cent coin.
● A Māori carving of Pukaki, a chief of the Ngati Whakaue Iwi flanked by traditional koru kowhaiwhai patterns on the 20-cent coin.
● The HMS Endeavour, the ship of Captain James Cook, on the 50-cent coin.
● A Kiwi bird on the one-dollar coin.
● The eastern great egret or kotuku on the two-dollar coin.
The final coin in this six-piece set is a one-ounce silver proof version of the Ngaro Huruhuru Bee coin. Ngaro Huruhuru bees are native to New Zealand and are at risk due to climate change and land use by humans. They’re vital to the pollination of native plants and are key to the successful growth of orchards, vegetable crops, and exotic flowers.
