Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1937 George VI 1 Shilling coin from Zimbabwe (then known as Southern Rhodesia) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1932, just a year after the formation of the Southern Rhodesia currency board, which was established to stabilize the currency and economy of the region. The coin's mintage was also a significant event for the region, as it marked the beginning of a new era in coinage for Southern Rhodesia, which had previously used British coins. Despite the challenges of the time, the 1937 George VI 1 Shilling coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the rich history and resilience of Zimbabwe.
