Issue information
As the Head of State of New Zealand, Queen Elizabeth II has developed a close bond with our small nation, having visited on numerous occasions. One of her most well known visits took place in 1953, when she famously delivered her Christmas message from Government House in Auckland. Significantly, this was her first and only Christmas message broadcast from outside Britain, and therefore it is fitting that it is the subject of this impressive Diamond Jubilee coin.
The 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Coin is the only New Zealand legal tender commemorative coin to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty to the throne on 6 February 1952. It has been officially approved by Queen Elizabeth II and the Palace, and is exclusively authorised by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
The 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Coin will be protected forever inside its regal purple velvet case, along with its individually numbered certificate of authenticity. This highly sought-after coin makes a beautiful memento of this significant anniversary, and will be treasured by coin collectors and royal enthusiasts for years to come.
