Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1932-1936 George V ½ Crown from Zimbabwe › Southern Rhodesia is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King George V, but it was also during this time that the country was transitioning from being a colony to a self-governing dominion. This coin is a symbol of that transition and the shift towards independence.
