Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1933-1935 George V ½ Crown from New Zealand is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Maori chief, Hāmi Ngata, on its reverse side. This was a significant departure from the traditional depiction of British monarchs on New Zealand currency and marked a turning point in the country's shift towards greater cultural recognition and representation of its indigenous people.
