1957 New Zealand sixpence with the scarce "No shoulder strap" die variety, a specialist error sought after by collectors for its rarity and historical interest.
This piece is noted for the missing shoulder strap detail on the portrait side — a recognised minting anomaly with roughly 200,000 examples originally produced, making high-grade survivors uncommon.
