Interesting fact
This coin was designed by New Zealand artist and sculptor, Robert H. P. H. Shackleton, who is known for his work on various coins and medals for the Royal Mint. The Pattern 10 Cents coin features a unique design that showcases a stylized image of a kiwi, which is New Zealand's national symbol, surrounded by a wreath of kowhai flowers. The coin's design was intended to be a trial piece, but it was never officially released into circulation. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
