Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Dollar - Elizabeth II (2nd portrait; Pattern) ND (1985) from New Zealand made of Aluminium bronze weighing 8.76 g is that it was never officially released into circulation. It was only produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a trial or sample coin and not intended for widespread use. This makes it a rare and unique coin among collectors.
