Interesting fact
The ½ Cent coin was the lowest denomination coin in circulation during the Rhodesian era, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features a depiction of a traditional Rhodesian farmer plowing the land with a pair of oxen. This design was meant to symbolize the country's strong agricultural heritage and its connection to the land.
