Description

This Limited Edition Commemorative Set actually contains no Commemorative coins. All the coins are definitive versions. However the Set commemorates the changeover in New Zealand in 2006 to smaller versions of definitive coins. The 5 cent coin was dropped and the 10, 20 and 50 cent all were reduced in size & metal composition was changed. 2005 was the last year of the larger versions of the coins. (The 5 cent coin in the Set is actually dated 2003)
