1973 New Zealand One Dollar Proof Coin, struck with exceptional proof quality featuring deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices. The obverse displays the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscription ELIZABETH II NEW ZEALAND 1973. The reverse features the beautifully detailed New Zealand Coat of Arms surrounded by fern leaves and the denomination ONE DOLLAR. The coin exhibits strong cameo contrast, crisp details, and highly reflective surfaces. It is housed in its original blue New Zealand presentation case, adding to its collectible appeal. Based on the provided photographs, the coin appears to have been carefully preserved, with only a few light hairlines or minor handling marks visible under magnification. A desirable addition for collectors of New Zealand proof coinage, Commonwealth issues, and world crown-sized coins.
