A New Zealand 1969 cupro-nickel One Dollar coin (Elizabeth II)(Captain Cook Bi-centenary)(edge = "COMMEMORATING COOK BI-CENTENARY 1769-1969"), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $4 NZD. There were 400,000 minted. A New Zealand 1969 cupro-nickel One Dollar coin (Elizabeth II)(Captain Cook Bi-centenary)(no hyphen in edge inscription - edge = "COMMEMORATING COOK BICENTENARY 1769-1969"), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $6 NZD. An estimated 75,000 of the 400,000 minted are missing the hyphen from the edge inscription. These coins were minted as non-circulating legal tender. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
He didn't.James Cook, who was the first European to chart the area, named the eastern coast of Australia New South Walesbecause the countryside bore a resemblance (in his mind) to parts of southern Wales.Australia, as a name, was not yet being used by the Europeans to refer to the continent, and it was not even clear whether or not the land that Cook charted was part of a larger continent.
You will find the answer when you read the book, "Mr Popper's Penguins". It is easy to read and quite enjoyable.
