Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Cents coin was designed by Reginald George James Berry, a New Zealand artist and sculptor, and it features a unique Maori design on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1967 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. The use of bronze in the coin's composition was a departure from the standard cupro-nickel used in most New Zealand coins at the time, making it a distinctive and collectible piece.
