New Zealand 20 cents 1981 ,Km#36. Is this a round hole "8" issue for set only [opgelost]

It is in very nice shape . But not sure how to mark in catalog. close up

thank you daryl

Any thoughts?

Daryl: I checked but can not find anything to compare with. sorry Ed

Hi Daryl,
Good question an area that is not much covered. 1981 circulation coinage was struck at The Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa. Whilst set coinage Proof/Mint was minted at The British Royal Mint.

The 2 examples that I have.



1981 Mint set



Coins of all nations New Zealand assume circulation coinage.

From what I can see, I would say yours (nice example) of a circulation strike. Oval holes

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi again,
More I think about it, I think the description should be fat bottom 8 for the circulation strikes?

Thank you Jcler001 I found another 1981 20 cent. And they look the same. So I think you are right a circulation coin. It is a really nice looking coin.
