Commemorative Issue: New Zealand issued two distinct commemorative 1 Dollar coins in 1974:
One commemorating New Zealand Day (February 6th), featuring a Great Egret in flight on the reverse.
One commemorating the X British Commonwealth Games held in Christchurch, featuring the games' emblem flanked by athletes on the reverse.
Composition: These coins were typically made of copper-nickel, although a silver (.925) proof version was also issued for the Commonwealth Games coin.

Historical Context: These 1 Dollar coins, while having a face value, were primarily commemorative and crown-sized, intended for collectors.

This coin is composed of .925 sterling silver.
