2018 New Zealand Armistice Centenary 50c Coin in Capsule

Description

This 50 cent coin from New Zealand was issued in 2018 to mark 100 years since the First World War Armistice in 1918.

To mark this historic centenary year, many of the allied nations joined forces again to issue special commemorative coins in a poignant move to mark the anniversary.

Designed by Dave Burke, the reverse of this 50 Cent features a coloured red poppy flower surrounded by a wreath. The three silver ferns on the wreath represent the three services of the New Zealand Defence Force: Army, Navy, and Air Force.
