| 裏面の説明 | Two crossed battle-axes, their hafts bound with cord and rendered in finely detailed relief, dominate the central field as the primary device — a design by George Kruger Gray symbolising the territory's heritage. The date 1937 is divided across the upper field, with '19' to the left and '37' to the right of the crossing point, where the engraver's initials 'KG' appear. The large numeral '6' is prominently placed in the lower centre of the field, with the word PENCE below it along the bottom arc. The legend SOUTHERN RHODESIA runs around the periphery, flanking the axes on left and right, enclosed within a toothed border. |

Southern Rhodesia's coinage was administered not by a central bank but by the Currency Board, a body that held sterling reserves pound-for-pound against every note and coin issued — a strictly orthodox arrangement that gave the colony no independent monetary tools whatsoever. The 1937 sixpence was among the first coins struck under George VI following his accession after Edward VIII's abdication in December 1936, meaning the entire Southern Rhodesian series had to be retooled within months of the previous year's dies being prepared.
KM#10 is the first year of type for this George VI issue.
