2 Shillings - George VI

正面描述	Right-facing effigy of King George VI, bare-headed, with a draped and armored bust. The legend surrounds the portrait along the rim, reading GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR, with the abbreviated title PM also present. The portrait was engraved by Percy Metcalfe in a restrained, classical style typical of mid-twentieth-century British colonial coinage. The field is plain, with the king's likeness occupying the central device.

附加信息	The switch to copper-nickel in 1947 was a direct consequence of postwar silver shortages and British treasury pressure to conserve the metal across all colonial dependencies simultaneously. Southern Rhodesia had used .925 silver for its florin-sized coins since the series launched in 1932; the 1947 issue marked a clean break. Copper-nickel blanks were sourced through the Royal Mint's supply chain, not struck locally. KM#19b collectors should note that the 1947 date is the first year of the new composition, making it the transitional entry point for the type.
