Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Rhodesia, which is now known as Zimbabwe. The coin features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was introduced in 1966, and it was minted using gold that has a purity of 91.6%. Despite its small weight of 3.99 grams, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
