Denomination and Year: It is a 3 pence (3d) coin from New Zealand, minted in 1947.
Composition: Notably, 1947 marked a change in the composition of the New Zealand threepence. Due to rising silver prices post-World War II, this coin was the first New Zealand threepence issued in copper-nickel alloy, shifting from the earlier silver composition used until 1946.
Obverse Design: The obverse (not fully visible in the provided image, but described in search results) features the crowned portrait of King George VI facing left.
Reverse Design: The reverse, visible in your image, features two crossed patu (ornamental Māori clubs) below the "3d" denomination. The design was created by British artist George Kruger Gray.
Historical Context: The New Zealand threepence was part of the New Zealand pound pre-decimal coinage system and was replaced following decimalization in 1967 with the New Zealand dollar.
