Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pence George V coin from Zimbabwe (then known as Southern Rhodesia) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1932, just a few years after the discovery of rich gold deposits in the country, which led to a period of rapid economic growth and development. However, this growth was accompanied by significant social and economic disparities, with the majority of the population, which was black, being excluded from the benefits of the economic boom. The coin's mintage also coincided with the rise of nationalist movements in the country, which eventually led to the establishment of the Republic of Zimbabwe in 1980. Despite these challenges, the 3 Pence coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Zimbabwe.
