Beschrijving keerzijde	Central device comprising two traditional Shona wirework battle-axes crossed in saltire, their hafts and intricately decorated blades rendered in fine relief, with the designer's initials K·G incuse at the crossing point. The four-digit date is divided either side of the crossed axes, reading 19 and 35, while the large numeral 6 appears prominently below. The legend SOUTHERN RHODESIA arcs around the upper periphery, and the denomination PENCE is inscribed along the lower rim, all within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie	Southern Rhodesia gained the right to issue its own coinage in 1932 following the establishment of responsible government in 1923 — a nine-year gap that reflects how cautiously the Colonial Office managed the transition of monetary authority to settler administrations. Before that, the territory circulated South African coinage as a matter of practicality. The Royal Mint struck these early Rhodesian issues in London, not at a branch mint. The series was cut short by the realities of wartime silver conservation; later issues through the 1940s saw composition changes that the .925 standard of this founding run never survived.
