    As far as I can tell, the first New Zealand coins were made in 1933. So I was curious what they used for money there before then? Australian money?

    English coins were legal tender, some Australian coins were used.

    Token coinage was widely used from about 1857 onwards, although British and later Australian coins were used.

    Interesting. I was really surprised to find that it took so long for that country to get its own coinage.

    Great looking coin, davey. I like the detail on the warrior's face.
