This crown-sized dollar coin commemorates Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand, which marks the 150th anniversary of the initial signing – on 6 February 1840 – of the Treaty of Waitangi, which is regarded as the founding document of the nation. The first Waitangi Day was not celebrated until 1934, and it was made a national public holiday in 1974.

The coin was struck at the RAM and released in a small plastic wallet. (40,000 Copies)


It was also issued in a Five Coin Uncirculated Set of Waitangi Commemorative coins. (10,000 Copies)





A silver proof version of the coin was also issued.
