Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first powered flight in New Zealand, which was made by Richard Pearse in 1903. The coin's design depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a representation of Pearse's aircraft, the "Flying Machine," on the other.
