📜 Historical Detail

The 1934 New Zealand halfcrown is one of the most attractive pre‑decimal issues of the Dominion period. Struck at the Royal Mint, London, this coin features the distinctive New Zealand coat of arms reverse introduced in 1933.

The 1934 issue is collected for its low‑mintage early‑series status and its strong strike quality compared with later years. EF examples are increasingly difficult to source, especially with original surfaces and no cleaning.
