Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by New Zealand artist, Kaitlyn Pihema. The portrait is the fourth different portrait of the Queen to appear on New Zealand's coinage and is known as the "Ngā Hau e Whā: Te Hau Tonga" portrait. This portrait was specifically designed to reflect the Queen's role as the Head of the Commonwealth and her connection to New Zealand's Māori culture.
