| Reverse description | Central design features a sable antelope standing in full profile to the left, positioned atop a raised rectangular ground element bearing the date '1955'. The antelope, a celebrated emblem of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, is rendered in high sculptural relief with finely detailed horns and musculature, the work of engraver Paul Vincze whose initials 'P.V.' appear in small characters below the ground line. The circular legend 'RHODESIA AND NYASALAND' arcs across the upper field, while 'ONE SHILLING' is inscribed along the lower arc. The entire design is enclosed within a continuous beaded border, and the proof surface imparts exceptional sharpness and reflectivity to all design elements. |
