| Additional information |
New Zealand's Paris Olympics issues were produced under licence from both World Athletics and the IOC, with the Reserve Bank contracting the New Zealand Mint — a private entity despite the name — rather than striking domestically. The 1-gram format traces its commercial lineage to the fractional gold products that surged in demand after the 2008 financial crisis, when small-denomination gold became a retail category in its own right.
The "fuller portrait" of Charles III refers to the Atkins effigy, introduced across Commonwealth coinage from 2023 onward to replace the Jody Clark portrait used since 2015.
