| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of King George VI, modelled by Thomas Humphrey Paget, occupies the central field. The king is depicted with a naturalistically rendered short hairstyle and a plain truncation at the shoulder. The engraver's initials 'HP' appear discreetly at the lower truncation. The surrounding legend reads GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR, disposed along the upper and lower periphery within a fine beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
New Zealand's silver coinage was struck at the Royal Mint in London through most of this period, shifting to the Royal Mint's Pretoria branch in South Africa during the war years when Atlantic shipping made London production impractical. The .500 fine silver standard had been adopted across British dominion coinages in 1920, halving the silver content from the earlier sterling specification — a wartime economy measure that simply never got reversed.
The 1946 issue closed out this type ahead of George VI's title change following Indian independence in 1947, which required new obverse dies dropping the *IND:IMP* designation.
