Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Zimbabwe's history. The coin was issued in 1964, just a few years before the country's independence from British colonial rule in 1965. Additionally, the coin features the image of Queen Elizabeth II, who was still the monarch of Rhodesia (as Zimbabwe was then known) at the time. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural heritage of Zimbabwe.
