New Zealand - 2024 - 50c Uncirculated Coin & Stamp Cover - King Charles III
Product Description
An effigy of the King, designed for the Royal Mint by Dan Thorne, will appear on New Zealand circulating coins minted during His Majesty’s reign. The King faces to the left in keeping with the convention that the direction changes between sovereigns.
Highlights:
- First New Zealand 50c coin to feature portrait of King Charles III
- Limited to 500 packs
- Coin minted to the finest quality proof finish
- The coin is specially dated 2024
- Displayed in a pack with a cancelled King Charles III stamp and image from Coronation Day.
Design:
Charles III, the King of New Zealand, succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as sovereign immediately upon her death on 8 September 2022. To ensure that there is never a moment in which the nation is without a monarch, accession is automatic and instantaneous. The Coronation of The King and The Queen took place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May 2023.
Alongside a cancelled stamp from the 2023 King Charles III stamp issue, this philatelic numismatic cover includes a New Zealand 50-cent proof coin specially marked with the year 2024. The 50-cent coin features the HMS Endeavour, the ship Captain Cook arrived on when he became the first Briton to reach New Zealand in October 1769.
