Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence - Elizabeth II (1st portrait; Silver Proof) 1955 from Rhodesia and Nyasaland is that it was minted during a time of great change and uncertainty in the region. The coin was issued in 1955, just a year before the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was dissolved, and the region was divided into three separate territories: Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, and Nyasaland. Despite this upheaval, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and unique design making it a prized addition to any collection.
