| Additional information |
New Zealand's pre-decimal coinage was produced almost exclusively at the Royal Mint in London and the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra during this period, with quality control inconsistencies occasionally slipping through on both fronts. The KM#29.1 and 29.2 distinction tracks a specific obverse die change — the two varieties differ in the positioning and spacing of the legend around the first Gillick portrait, making attribution straightforward with a loupe.
Without documentation of the specific error type, provenance matters here. Planchet flaws, die clashes, and off-center strikes from this era are known but rarely cataloged individually.
