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 was issued in 1966, just a few years before Rhodesia declared its independence from Britain in 1965, and it features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was introduced in 1964. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the transition of Rhodesia from a British colony to an independent nation.
