| Reverse description | A stylized Zimbabwe Bird — the iconic soapstone avian figure recovered from the ruins of Great Zimbabwe — is prominently centered on the reverse, engraved by George Kruger Gray. The date is split to either side of the bird's body, with the numerals flanking its base. The denomination ONE SHILLING appears in the lower field, while the legend SOUTHERN RHODESIA arcs along the upper periphery. Designer's initials K·G appear below the bird, and the composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |
