Comment
I have one from 1946.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1933-1935 New Zealand George V 1 Shilling coin is that it was the first coin to feature the image of King George V, who was the reigning monarch at the time. This coin was also unique in that it was made of silver, which was a departure from the previous bronze coins that had been used in New Zealand. Additionally, the coin's design featured a Maori warrior on the reverse side, which was a nod to the indigenous people of New Zealand.
