| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, modelled by Thomas Humphrey Paget, whose engraver's initials HP appear on the truncation. The king is depicted in a plain civilian style without crown or regalia, consistent with the post-war uncrowned portrait type introduced for Commonwealth coinage from 1937. The circumferential legend KING GEORGE THE SIXTH runs around the periphery, with a fine toothed border framing the design. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A naturalistic depiction of a kiwi (Apteryx) facing left, shown in a characteristic foraging pose with its long bill directed downward toward a ground line, its finely detailed feathering rendered in high relief by engraver George Kruger Gray. The legend NEW·ZEALAND arcs across the upper field, while the denomination ONE·FLORIN and the date are inscribed along the lower periphery, separated by raised dots. The engraver's initials KG appear near the lower right of the design. A toothed border encircles the entire reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
New Zealand's switch from silver to copper-nickel for the florin came in 1947, driven by postwar silver shortages and the broader Commonwealth trend away from precious-metal coinage in circulation. This third-type designation distinguishes the modified effigy used after the removal of "IND:IMP" from George VI's titles following Indian independence in 1947 — a quiet but constitutionally significant alteration that rippled through every denomination across multiple Commonwealth mints simultaneously.
