Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin from Zimbabwe (then known as Southern Rhodesia) is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1948, just a year after the country had gained its independence from British colonial rule. The coin features an image of King George VI, who reigned until his death in 1952, and was succeeded by his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a tangible reminder of Zimbabwe's transition from a British colony to an independent nation.
