| Beschrijving keerzijde | A passant lion with a tufted tail occupies the central field, its body oriented to the right with head turned forward, rendered in high relief. The date 1966 is divided by the lion, with 19 to the left and 66 to the right at the mid-field level. The country name RHODESIA arcs across the upper legend, while the denomination ONE POUND is inscribed in three words along the lower legend. The engraver's initials T.S. appear in small lettering below the lion, and a beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodesia's 1966 gold pound was struck in the immediate aftermath of Ian Smith's Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Britain in November 1965 — a move that triggered UN sanctions and left the country's monetary system in a precarious position. The Reserve Bank pressed ahead regardless, issuing gold coinage that retained the second portrait of Elizabeth II despite the regime's open defiance of the Crown, a legal and political absurdity that was never fully resolved during UDI.
Mintages were extremely small, produced primarily for collectors and as a store of value rather than for any meaningful circulation.
