A "pattern" coin is one that was minted, usually in very small quantities, for evaluation or approval by the government or central banking authority. These coins are supposed to be returned to the Mint after the approval, but it seems that very few are.

1933 was the year that New Zealand issued its first coins, so it entirely likely that a number of pattern coins were minted.

It appears that a 1933 "pattern" Threepence was minted in unspecified quantities (probably less than 10), and they are valued at well in excess of $10,000 NZD.
