Comment
The Rhodesian 3 Pence (Tickey) was the only non-gold Rhodesian pre-decimal coin not to be dual-denominated.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pence - Elizabeth II (2nd portrait) 1968 from Zimbabwe › Rhodesia (1964-1979) coin is that it was issued during the Rhodesian Bush War, a conflict that lasted from 1964 to 1979 between the white minority government and the black nationalist guerrilla forces. The coin's design, featuring the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, was a symbol of the colonial era and the British monarchy, which was still in power at the time. Despite the conflict, the coin was still issued and used as currency in the region, reflecting the complex history and political tensions of the time.
