Comment
In some countries, the monarchy is associated with the rose and thistle, but in New Zealand it is associated with the silver fern and the mānuka flower, as can be seen in the insignia of the New Zealand Royal Honours system. Beyond these symbols, there are few other places in the world where members of the royal family can be as informal and as accessible to the public as they are here in New Zealand. The monarchy in New Zealand is a modern, multicultural institution woven into the fabric of this country. This stunning .25oz gold coin has been issued in honour of the 95th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.A symbol of health and wellbeing, the central mānuka flower represents the Queen’s current relationship with New Zealand, as all nations continue to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This nationally significant flower is commonly seen in New Zealand and is world famous for its honey, representing both health and economic prosperity. The use of a mānuka flower also links to the Queen’s love of floral dress, and a long-standing royal use of flowers to represent a connection to the countries they govern. There is a polished and mirrored surface around the flower and a matte rim with the text and ferns incused and polished. The mānuka flower is raised, with a matte finish.
