Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II, known as the "4th portrait," which was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This portrait was first introduced in 1998 and features a more mature and regal representation of the Queen, with a slightly different crown and a more defined jawline. This design was used on several coins and currency in various countries, but it's particularly interesting to see it on this silver proof coin from New Zealand, especially given the addition of the frog privy mark.
