New Zealand's coinage was struck by the Royal Mint in London beginning in 1933, the first year the Dominion issued its own distinct currency rather than circulating Australian or British coin. The shilling patterns from that year — including this piece — were produced as trials ahead of the official release, allowing the Colonial Office and New Zealand Treasury to approve designs before full production commenced. The "Kiwi Shilling" designation distinguishes it from the ultimately adopted hoki-bird reverse.
Pattern status means mintage was almost certainly in the dozens at most.
