Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Cents (Pattern) ND (1967-1971) from New Zealand made of Copper-nickel is that it was designed by Reginald George James Berry, a prominent New Zealand artist and sculptor. Berry's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, while the reverse depicts a Maori warrior holding a taiaha, a traditional Maori weapon. The coin was minted in 1967 and 1971, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
