| Obverse description | A stylised Tudor rose in high relief dominates the central field, its symmetrically radiating petals encircling the central round perforation. A royal crown is positioned above the rose, set just within the beaded border. The circular legend KING GEORGE THE SIXTH is incuse in Latin characters, running along the periphery between the inner raised ring and the outer beaded rim. |

| Reverse description | The denomination ONE PENNY is inscribed across the central field in upright Latin lettering, with decorative floral sprigs flanking the central round perforation on either side. The territorial name SOUTHERN RHODESIA arcs along the upper periphery, and the date is placed at the base, all contained within a beaded border. The composition is typographically balanced, with the legends and ornamental sprigs arranged symmetrically about the central hole. |
