Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - George VI 1939-1942 coin from Zimbabwe › Southern Rhodesia is that it was minted during the Second World War, and its production was affected by the war effort. The coin was minted in 1941 and 1942, and due to the war, the mintage was lower than usual, making it a relatively rare coin. Additionally, the silver content of the coin was reduced from the standard .925 to .500 during the war years, which makes the 1941 and 1942 coins even more unique and valuable to collectors.
