NEW BOOK: NEW ZEALAND HISTORY COINED

After years of research and preparation, ‘New Zealand History Coined' was launched at the Decimal 50 Conference in Auckland, New Zealand on Friday 15 July 2017. This book, written by Robert Pepping, looks at all of New Zealand's coins from 1933 to 1965 but also contains information on other significant numismatic items and events such as the New Zealand Pattern Penny of 1879, the Royal Visit Medal of 1953 and the proposed coinage of King Edward VIII. Here too you will find, approximately 200 pages of fascinating information, many pictures and images, a selected bibliography and an index.

If you are interested in this period of New Zealand's coin history or coins in general, you will thoroughly enjoy reading this book and you will find it an extremely useful resource. Information on King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II will be of value to those who do not specialise in New Zealand coins. It is a book that all numismatists will enjoy. Further information on the book and sample pages can be viewed on the website http://nzhcoined.weebly.com .
