Comments

This Fine Silver 5 cent 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 design of the reverse has a stylised depiction of the Kotuku or White Heron, chosen as the symbol of the 1990 anniversary celebrations.

Coin also issued in copper-nickel.
