Agree some of the trade dollar patterns are amazing. Tho the obverse design they used is tough to beat I hope to get a few trade dollar patterns to go with my set
View attachment 512060 To answer your question , I would think it's to close to the Trade dollar used by Britain . If you compare the two. Just a educated guess here.
I just picked up this 1945 for my set. It has been surprisingly difficult to find a high grade 1945 with really cool toning. I missed out on an awesome example two years ago, I haven't found another since. I think this one looks like a giraffe and I just love it!
This is the sellers pic, I'm hoping they're even better in hand. Don't often see Copper-Nickle coins like this from NZ.
