| Additional information |
The International Polar Year 2007–2008 was only the fourth such coordinated global scientific effort since the original in 1882–83, involving over 60 nations and roughly 50,000 researchers focused on Arctic and Antarctic study. New Zealand's participation carried particular weight given its role as a gateway nation for Antarctic operations through Scott Base. This miniature gold proof was issued in that context — a 1/25 oz format favored by several Commonwealth mints during the 2000s for affordable bullion-adjacent commemoratives.
