<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2110926, member: 16729&quot;]I believe that in 1965, the last year that NZ released these &quot;old&quot; coins, based on the maddeningly-complicated &quot;British&quot; coin-value system (pounds/shillings/florins/pence), NZ made strikes that look &quot;proof like&quot; but also made actual proof versions of these same coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe I have a &quot;prooflike&quot; NZ half-crown and also a &quot;proof&quot; version of the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will check on this again, but I believe I once read that the &quot;proof like&quot; coins were coins that were made for circulation, but the mint used &quot;proof&quot; planchets.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sort of a &quot;last hurrah,&quot; or something like that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
