| Reverse description | The central field depicts a naturalistically rendered cotton boll in high relief, shown open and in bloom, with curling leaves and slender stems extending gracefully around the central motif, reflecting Zambia's agricultural heritage. The denomination legend 'SIX PENCE' is inscribed along the lower arc of the coin in stylized lettering, with the numeral '6' and the abbreviation 'D' incorporated between the two words as an integral part of the design. The composition was engraved by Norman Sillman and displays a refined Art Deco-influenced botanical style characteristic of Royal Mint production of the era. |
