Interesting fact

The 6 Pence coin from New Zealand, minted between 1933 and 1936, features an image of King George V on one side and a Maori warrior on the other. This coin was made of silver, specifically 50% silver, and weighs 2.83 grams. It's interesting to note that the Maori warrior design was created by New Zealand artist and sculptor, F.G. Gurnsey, and it's a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and era.
