Comments

New Zealand’s Māori culture is a vital part of our national identity. The 10-cent coin features a Māori carved mask, known as a ‘koruru’, with rafter patterns. Traditionally, a koruru is carved into the gables of the meeting house and is seen as the ‘guardian of the house’.

The Proof coin is also composed of different metal to the circulation issue. Instead of Copper plated Steel it is made of Copper. The Proof set says it is Copper-nickel but that is an error.
