Despite his disaffection with coin-making , Thomas continued to design many medals for the Royal Mint , including the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal , the Queen 's Service Medal ( New Zealand ) , and seal for Church of England bishops . He also accepted numerous private commissions . Among Thomas ' later commissions were the Bromhead Memorial in Richmond Cemetery ( 1957 ) and several large bronzes destined for New Zealand , one of was received by King 's College in Auckland ; the other two were near-identical sculptures of Peter Pan . One was commissioned for the Dunedin Botanic Garden ( unveiled in 1965 ) , which inspired the commission for a second one to stand at Lake Virginia in Whanganui ( unveiled in 1967 )
