In 1982, the New Zealand Coin & Medal Co. Ltd. commissioned the New Zealand Mint to produce 200 replicas in sterling silver and 18 carat gold. Due to the work involved in hand finishing each Cross only 67 were completed, all of them engraved ‘Replica’ in the reverse centre, together with issuance number (Oldham & Delahurst refer).
