| Additional information |
New Zealand Post issues commemorative dollars under a licensing arrangement, not as an instrument of the Reserve Bank — these pieces carry face value but were never intended for circulation. The "Longest Reigning Monarch" designation marks September 9, 2015, the date Elizabeth II surpassed Queen Victoria's 63 years, 216 days on the throne. A bimetallic construction at 93 grams is unusual for a coin this diameter; the zinc alloy ring exists primarily as a design device rather than a cost measure.
