| Additional information |
New Zealand's $2 coin has been brass since the 1990 decimalization revision that abolished the 1-cent and 2-cent pieces and resized the remaining denominations. The 4th portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, was introduced across Commonwealth coinage progressively through the late 1990s and carried through until Jody Clark's 5th portrait began replacing it from 2015 onward — making this issue a transitional year depending on mint run timing.
The milled edge designation distinguishes this from the intermittent smooth-edge commemorative $2 pieces the Reserve Bank has issued. KM#120 is the workhorse circulation type.
