Comment

Released by The Perth Mint and NZ Post this crown sized NCLT coin came as part of a numbered two coin set. Maximum mintage was 20,000 but only 16,547 sets were produced. The other coin is a NCLT New Zealand oversized dollar. Each coin portrays a living icon, instantly recognisable as a symbol of its nation. The Australian coin has the Kangaroo of Australia and the NZ coin has the Rowi (Kiwi) of New Zealand.
