Business Profile
Rotorua Stamps and Coins is a reputable business that specialises in Philatelic and Numismatic collectables.
Lois Ion is the director of this business, having extensive 40+ years experience and knowledge gleaned from working with her father Donald Ion, who had been a Philatelic and Numismatic dealer for over 60 years. The 'Ion' name is known to many Philatelic and Numismatic collectors nationally and internationally. Lois feels that this solid grounding has enabled her to be able to look after her clients interests and deliver what they need, which she loves to do. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic 2020, this event has drastically changed our personal living and workplace environment. Lois is in the process of restructuring the business where viewing of stock at the moment is by appointment only. For your personal safety and wellbeing an exciting development will be a new mobile service where Lois is able to visit local clients at a place of their convenience. Plans will be put in place eventually where Lois will travel outside Rotorua to meet clients. Please contact for further information.

Maori History
Lois was born in Kawerau and is of English and Maori heritage. Her tribal affililations are Ngati Awa, Te Arawa

The 2004 Pukaki, 2010 Heitiki and 2012 Heimatau gold coins are now considered to be amongst the rarest modern coins today. Nationally and internationally these coins are highly sought after.
