Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - George V 1934-1936 from Zimbabwe › Southern Rhodesia (1932-1955) coin 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, who was the last king of the United Kingdom to have the title "King of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all his other realms and territories, Emperor of India." This was a time of significant political and social upheaval, as many of the colonies under British rule were fighting for independence. The coin itself is a symbol of the complex history of the region, as it was minted in a time when the country was still a British colony, but was also beginning to assert its own independence.
