This specimen was lot 23378 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "NEW ZEALAND. 6 Pence, 1937. PCGS MS-66 Gold Shield. KM-8. An enchanting piece with tremendous eye appeal, this wondrous Gem features flawless steel gray surfaces brought to life by a sublime palette of cobalt and burgundy. Unsurprisingly, tied with just four others at the highest level seen at PCGS." This sixpence struck for George VI retained the huia bird reverse introduced with George V. This type was struck 1937-46 although none were made in 1938. In 1948, the obverse was revised from "GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR" to "KING GEORGE THE SIXTH." The denomination was terminated upon decimalization in 1965.
Recorded mintage: 1,280,000 + proofs.
Specification: 2.83 g, 0.500 fine silver, 19.3 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-8.
