The coin was minted in 1964, just a few years before Zimbabwe gained its independence from British colonial rule in 1965. The coin features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was introduced in 1964 and was used on coins until 1979. This coin is a tangible reminder of Zimbabwe's transition from a British colony to an independent nation.
