| Aanvullende informatie |
Southern Rhodesia's wartime shillings were struck in .500 fine silver rather than the prewar .925 standard — a direct consequence of British Empire-wide silver rationing during the Second World War. The same reduction affected coinage across multiple territories simultaneously, including South Africa and the other British colonial issues of the period. Collectors often overlook that the alloy change was not reversed after 1945; Southern Rhodesia never returned to sterling silver for this denomination.
