    Very sharp! I've seen a couple of varieties of it last time I visited my local dealer, but not knowing what they were - decided to pass. Very cool design image

    If its the 34mm Very common in high grade.

    Made by Stokes and Martin , Melbourne

    Usually top examples sell around the $100-$150 mark

    Edited to correct myself

    I'm an idiot, this is Rare. If its the 32mm, 2 reverses.

    Lampards Catalogue from 1980 has it at R10 - Less than 10 examples known

    Sold in 1977 for $675

    3rd Edit: It appears from catalogue pictures to be the larger version

    Those are awesome tokens... but at that price I should hope it is the rare version.. I've seen nice UNCs (but perhaps not 66) of the common variety go for around $160.

    NEN loses out on the non-specialist market by not providing better descriptions.

    I know that one! Are you a fan of the All Blacks? This is their haka. Sadly they made a premature exit from the world cup. :-(

    KoinCollect, pls PM me your address.

    Did you want a Waitangi Crown or would you prefer another coin?? image

    Yes, I'm a die hard All Blacks fan and am seriously depressed (again) about their premature exit (again) from the World Cup. image
