Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1954 Elizabeth II ½ Crown from Zimbabwe (then known as Southern Rhodesia) is that it was the first coin to feature the image of Queen Elizabeth II on a Zimbabwean coin. This was a significant moment in the country's history, as it marked the beginning of a new era in Zimbabwe's coinage and the transition from the previous monarch, King George VI. The coin's design also features the national emblem of Zimbabwe, the rhino, on the reverse side.
