This 1947 New Zealand threepence is a compact silver coin notable for a clear die-crack error, offering an interesting example for collectors of New Zealand decimal-era coinage and error pieces.
The obverse bears the standard crowned portrait with a visible die crack through the letter "A" in "Zealand." The reverse shows the traditional Māori patu design and a die crack running along the right side of the patu, making this piece a standout error example.
