| Obverse description | A large Tudor rose in high relief occupies the central field, its petals radiating symmetrically around the central round hole. A royal crown surmounts the rose at the top, serving as the principal heraldic device in place of a monarch's effigy. The circular legend GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR runs around the periphery, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. The composition reflects the holed-coin tradition of Southern Rhodesian coinage, with the rose symbolising the British royal connection. |
