Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1947 New Zealand 1 Shilling coin is that it features a unique design element - a Maori warrior on the reverse side, which was a departure from the traditional British royalty depictions found on previous coins. This design was chosen to commemorate the contributions of the Maori people to New Zealand's culture and history.
