Description: The design highlights a central portrait of Queen Elizabeth II looking toward the right, modeled closely after a royal photographic sitting taken by Dorothy Wilding. The young Queen wears the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara alongside a formal sash decorated with an insignia star. Positioned in the upper left corner is the royal cypher "E-R II". Branching over the upper right crest is a stylized frond of the native New Zealand silver fern, anchoring the monarch within local iconography. The bottom base features the country name "NEW ZEALAND" flanked by small stars on the right and a "1/6" value denomination on the left, denoting a face value of one shilling and sixpence. A series of parallel black ink cancellation lines spans horizontally across the entire face of this circulated specimen.
