| Reverse description | A Sable Antelope (Hippotragus niger) depicted in left-facing profile, rendered naturalistically with its distinctive swept-back horns and robust body as the central motif of the reverse. The denomination TWO SHILLINGS appears in the lower field beneath the animal, while the issuer name SOUTHERN RHODESIA arcs along the upper periphery. The date of issue is positioned within the design field flanking the antelope, accompanied by the initials KG denoting the reverse engraver George Kruger Gray. The composition reflects the characteristic wildlife imagery employed on Southern Rhodesian colonial coinage. |
