In 1947, 20 years before decimal currency was introduced in New Zealand, James Berry had experimented with designs for notes and coinage based on the idea that ten shillings (or “one kiwi”) would be divided into one hundred cents. This is one of his early designs. It was not accepted, but in 1964 his designs for the new decimal coins were successful.
