Each of these were painted in oil paint on stretched canvas. In the first series of 10 I painted the 1cent, 2cent, 5cent, 10cent, 20cent Pukaki, 20cent Kiwi, 50cent, one dollar, 2 dollars and the ten dollar gold and silver coin.

Most found homes pretty quickly…. I kept the $2 as it was my favourite and the $10…. I was never super happy with it. Haven’t done the bronze (new) ten cent piece yet, but will if someone wants this….

The second set happened as I had so many requests for pre-decimal coins…. I’ve changed the formats a bit and tried to do more with them….

New Zealand One Cent New Zealand 2 cent piece New Zealand 5 Cents NZ ten cent coin art The kiwi version of NZ 20 cent This 20 cent was the Pukaki coin The endeavour on the fifty cent coin NZ The Kiwi Dollar NZ Two Dollar coin 1965 New Zealand Pre-decimal half Penny

The first series of Coin Art were NZ decimal coins. I have completed 10, but I’m not happy with the $10 coin yet, so I included the pre-decimal series here.
