The 1936 New Zealand Sixpence is a classic George V silver issue minted at the Royal Mint for New Zealand’s circulating coinage. Struck in .500 silver, it carries George Kruger Gray’s celebrated kiwi reverse, now emblematic of early New Zealand numismatics.
The obverse carries the crowned bust of King George V facing left, with the New Zealand‑specific legend: GEORGE V KING EMPEROR. This issue represents the final year of George V coinage before the portrait changed to George VI in 1937.
The reverse features a detailed Kiwi standing left, designed by George Kruger Gray, whose work appears across many Commonwealth coinages.
A popular coin among collectors of New Zealand pre‑decimal silver, Commonwealth issues, and Kruger Gray designs.
