Kel found this in a local Rotorua park today. Was spoken to by a pompas member of the public about having permission, to dig up the park and possible damage to the roots of the tree. 
How do you determine the date of one of these. Never heard of one before ?
The date is in Roman numerals to the right of the head starting with M… Total of 9 numerals. Google it should do it.

Thanks for that 1866 is the year.
Never knew she was such a good scavenger
Yep 1866 - nice coins - me jellyarse! Certainly a good find.
I think these coins only had Roman Numerals from 1851 - 1887
Cool find alright well done
Super nice find. British florin why do you elude me 
It is also referred to as a Gothic Florin…very nice fairly rare find for NZ.
Well done!
