2021 NZ $1 1oz Silver Proof Coin - QEII 95th Birthday

The monarchy has been an important part of the New Zealand national family for almost two centuries.  For many generations the royal family have been with us through the good times and bad.  In times of triumph they have celebrated with us, sending messages, making visits and holding receptions.  In times of tragedy they have offered condolences, donated to recovery efforts and drawn the attention of the world to the unfolding events.

In some countries the monarchy is associated with the rose and thistle, but in New Zealand it is associated with the silver fern and the manuka flower, as can be seen in the insignia of the New Zealand Royal Honours system.    Beyond these symbols there are a few other places in the world where members of the royal family can be as informal and as accessible to the public as they are here in New Zealand.  The monarchy in New Zealand is a modern, multicultural institution woven into the fabric of the country.

Obverse Design - Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.
