User:Generalissima/Coronation crown (New Zealand coin)

A crown coin of the New Zealand pound was issued in New Zealand in 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Elizabeth II and her royal visit in December of that year.

Background
George VI's reign saw the political transition of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations during the early postwar era. His daughter, Elizabeth II, succeeded him in the role of British sovereign, as well as the Head of the Commonwealth, while active decolonisation was ongoing.
