| Additional information |
Issued as part of New Zealand's commemorative series tied to the Chronicles of Narnia film franchise, this piece appeared following the 2005 Disney/Walden Media production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, for which New Zealand served as a principal filming location. The arrangement reflects the country's sustained effort through the early 2000s to leverage its film industry connections — Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings productions had already established the template for this kind of cultural-commercial numismatic tie-in.
