| Additional information |
Kāpiti Island, located off the Kapiti Coast north of Wellington, has been a predator-free wildlife sanctuary since 1897 — one of the longest-running island conservation projects in New Zealand. The Tyrannosaurus Rex has no geological or biological connection to New Zealand whatsoever; the pairing is purely a licensing arrangement with a broader prehistoric wildlife coin program. These stainless steel issues are struck for circulation novelty and collector appeal rather than genuine numismatic depth.
