Source check Below is a review of a selection of sources. Stocker, Mark (2010) Y Stocker, Mark (2011) the 1940 Centennial half-crown was produced in far larger quantities and entered circulation at face value. Due to considerable demand from collectors, the coin quickly fell out of circulation. Apologies if I'm missing something in the source - I can't find info on p.221 which references the half-crown being produced in larger quantities, entering at face-value, or that the reason for its decline was due to collectors. Cook, Megan Where in the source does it confirm that this was the fifth visit by a British prince? "Royal Tours Abroad". New Zealand Herald. Y Royal visit badge". Museum of New Zealand. Y Royal Visit to N.Z. in 1949 Announced". The Press. Y "Royal Visit To N.Z. Before Australia". Northern Advocate. Y Proposed Commemorative Crown Piece Y Notes of Meetings Y "Special Crown Piece May Be Struck By N.Z. To Mark Royal Visit". Wanganui Chronicle. Whilst the publication date of the source is 1 June, the report was from 31 May. Should the article therefore say "Following Australian consideration of a commemorative coin in a four-shilling denomination, Minister of Finance Walter Nash moved in June May to support the Royal Numismatic Society's proposal of a circulating commemorative coin." Minting of Crowns". Wanganui Chronicle. Y New Zealand Crown Piece Y Royal Mint Annual Report 1948 Y The King's Health". The Press Y NEW ZEALAND. Crown, 1949. PCGS PROOF-66 Gold Shield". Stacks Bowers. Y

	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Y
	7. Overall assessment.

• Ope, I meant to also cite the Waitangi crown article on the Stocker (2011) sentence. Fixed that. - G
• For the Cook source; it doesn't explicitly say that it was the fifth visit, but it counts four prior visits; three by Alfred, one by Edward, Prince of Wales. Since royal visits were so rare during this period, I feel it's reasonable to assume they weren't missing any. - G
• Oh, good catch! Fixed. - G
