I'm going to start working on this review. – Reidgreg ( talk) 16:41, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Distinctive New Zealand coins, issued since 1933 when the Coinage Act was passed, are the crown, half-crown, florin, shilling, sixpence, threepence, penny, and halfpenny.I'm uncertain if "since that year" is intended to mean that the first coins were issued in 1933 and, ifso, whether all the listed coins were issued that year or only some of them.
at 31.75 mm in diameter and 9.45 g in weight
By August 1936, the New Zealand Numismatic Society began pursuing the creation of commemorative coinage to be issued for the centenaryIt looks to me that the half-crown was pursued from that time but there remained questions regarding the merits of the penny and half-penny proposals through to at least October 1937.
Around twenty New Zealand artists submitted designs for the competition, although British Royal Mint designers Percy Metcalfe and George Kruger Gray were both granted permission to participate due to their work on the prior New Zealand coinage.
The New Zealander Leonard Cornwall Mitchell's designs were selected for all three denominations.
All prose points below:
the half-crown's reverse features the coat of arms of New Zealand surrounded by Māori carvings.To avoid confusion, can this be qualified to distinguish it from the Centennial half-crown? Something like "the standard half-crown" or "the [year] half-crown"? Depending, it may need a source.
James Berry's combined the Treaty House with the Cook Landing Site obelisk for his half-crown submission.The possessive is used in ellipsis for "James Berry's submission" so it doesn't need "for his ... submission" again at the end. Or you could remove the 's, but I assume you were trying to give some variation in phrasing.
Three prototype examples are known of a proposed box set of the 1940 coinage, featuring the half-crown, which was ultimately declined before general production.Was the half-crown declined before production? To avoid possible confusion, suggest: featuring the half-crown. The government declined a production order of the boxed coin set.
Seems quite thorough and focused. In my own effort to be thorough I found the following which don't have much to add (save for FAC if at all):
Three images, all tagged with CC licences.
Very nice article! Just looking at a few tweaks of citations and phrasing. Please ping me here when you're ready for me to go over it again. – Reidgreg ( talk) 01:30, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
