Description

The set contains six standard definitive coins, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 & $2.

The NCLT $5 coin is celebrating the Chatham Island Tāiko. It is a small seabird in the gadfly petrel genus, Pterodroma. Found exclusively on Chatham Island, New Zealand it is one of the rarest seabirds in the world, believed to be extinct for over 100 years before its rediscovery in the 1970s.
