1 Shilling - George VI

Southern Rhodesia's Currency Board, established in 1932, operated under strict colonial monetary rules that tied local currency directly to sterling at parity — meaning these coins circulated interchangeably with British shillings in practice, though they were struck specifically for the territory. The 1937 issue was among the first coinage for George VI following his accession after Edward VIII's abdication, making it part of a rushed re-tooling of dies across multiple colonial mints that year.

The Royal Mint handled production, as it did for virtually all Southern Rhodesian coinage of the period.
