Moreover, they are struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver.The familiar side-profile portrayal of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of this coin, as is common with all legal tender in Commonwealth countries such as New Zealand. Although Ian Rank-Broadley designed this portrait in 1998, it is still used on several Commonwealth coins.On the other hand, the elegant Athenian Owl rendition on the coins’ reverses imparts the current Athena Owl Silver Coin name to them.
