Two special stamps and a coin will be released by New Zealand Post to commemorate the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George.
The stamps depict a family portrait taken at the Middleton family home and the official portrait from Prince George's christening.
The limited edition 1 ounce silver proof legal tender coin illustrates the young couple in colour against the backdrop of Government House in Wellington.
Prince George will be with his parents when they touch down on April 7, and the family will base themselves in Wellington.
Along with the capital the Duke and Duchess will visit Auckland, Hamilton, Cambridge, Blenheim Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.
New Zealand Post Head of Stamps and Coins Simon Allison says he is expecting interest in the stamps and coin to be high.
"Kiwis will be keen to get a glimpse of the young couple and future King while they're visiting. This special stamp and coin issue is a great way to celebrate and commemorate the visit," he said.
Queen Elizabeth has personally approved the images for use on the stamps and coin.
The Royal Visit stamps and coin are available for pre-order online (nzpost.co.nz/stamps) and will be available in PostShops and REAL Aotearoa stores from April 7.
