Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pence - George VI 1937 coin from Zimbabwe › Southern Rhodesia is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued in 1937, just a few years after the formation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which was a short-lived federal state that consisted of Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia, and Nyasaland. The coin features an image of King George VI, who was the monarch of the United Kingdom at the time, and the inscription "GEORGIVS VI D G BRITT OMN REX" (George VI, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, defender of the faith). The coin's design and issuance reflect the complex history and political dynamics of the region during this period.
