This 1956 New Zealand Penny (NSS — No Shoulder Strap) is a scarce variety from the transitional year when a shoulder strap was added to the monarch's bust; a small number of earlier-style pieces escaped the change. It’s offered in Good Very Fine condition and is a compelling piece for collectors of New Zealand coinage or variety issues.
