Queen Elizabeth II is featured proudly on the obverse of these coins. This depiction of Her Majesty was created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. It is the fourth-generation image of the Queen used on British and commonwealth coinage. She has been on all of this coinage since 1952.

History

The New Zealand Mint is a private mint located in Auckland, New Zealand. Despite the fact that the name makes it sound like the New Zealand Mint is a sovereign minting facility, it isnt associated with the government at all. All New Zealand dollars are actually produced overseas at the Royal Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint.
