When decimal currency was introduced in New Zealand on 10 July 1967, there was no new circulating denomination with the size and specifications of the old one crown piece, in which only commemorative coins had been issued (the new fifty cents were equivalent in value but not in size). Until the introduction of the smaller circulating dollar coin in 1990, New Zealand issued crown-sized commemoratives with a one dollar denomination such as this one. Later crown-sized commemoratives are denominated at five dollars.

In 1970 there were two commemoratives. This one represents the discovery of Mount Cook and commemorates the Royal Visit, 12-30 Mar 1970; Queen Elizabeth II then participated in the James Cook bicentenary celebrations and introduced Prince Charles and Princess Anne to New Zealand.
