In case you are interested, that "bird" on the New Zealand sixpence (1933-1966) is the extinct female huia.
this might be a little new for you, but this is my New Zealand coin. I'm hoping to collect a complete set from that year. http://www.cointalk.com/t192369/
I've never seen this one before. Very nice. Is that a Maori woman on the reverse side standing before the city?
