Nice pick up! That's my #1 favorite NZ coin. Still looking for one for my Empire collection. Yours looks UNC to me, by the way.
Ah another empire collector, we seem to be few and far between. This is my first to add to the collection too.. I've a lot of Australian and New Zealand coins but have never truly focused on them until now. This coin is XF-aUNC the seller had some of these and UNC for sale and had mixed them up, so he refunded me and kindly allowed me to keep it I've also just picked up the 1953 crown for 99p ! I also picked up a Guernsey 1 double 1889 which now completes my year type set for there
Just got this one for 123$ shipped. Very happy date filler for my set. View attachment 420137 View attachment 420138 View attachment 420139

Forgot to post these 2, my focus is heading back over to Australia and New Zealand ! Poor pic's I know
Was to me too . but I was told the Parliament member where given Crown coin , fact or fiction?????? I have only see photo of the Crown version of the 1927 anniversary was a artist drawing. One coin in a ICG holder in coin world article.
Check Coin World website it on there about 2010 2012 ?? I think it was a noted as a Com. One went to auction I think it was Japan or London. The End.
I've not seen a 1927 crown, the parliament florin is one of my favourites but my recent 1938 crown really steals the show for me. I actually prefer new Zealand's coins. I love the centennial 1/2 crown but until I got that free one just never had enough spare cash to buy one whilst chasing other targets. The Maõri hunter on the shillings looks awesome. Much better than a ram :S lol
