| Additional information |
New Zealand's 1970 royal visit marked the first time a reigning monarch had opened the country's parliament since 1954, and the Reserve Bank issued this dollar to commemorate the occasion. It was part of a broader Pacific tour that also took the Queen to Australia and Fiji. The coin saw genuine circulation alongside the standard issue, which means worn examples are not unusual.
