| Beschrijving keerzijde | A sable antelope, an iconic symbol of Southern Rhodesia, stands in full profile facing left atop a grassy ground line at centre, rendered with fine naturalistic detail by George Kruger Gray, whose initials KG appear below the ground line. The date 1937 is inscribed in the field above and to the right of the animal. The surrounding legend SOUTHERN RHODESIA arcs across the upper field, while TWO SHILLINGS appears along the lower periphery, all separated by small raised dots and enclosed within a toothed milling border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Southern Rhodesia gained the right to issue its own coinage in 1932, following the establishment of the Currency Board — an arrangement that kept the local currency at par with sterling while allowing distinctly colonial designs. The 1937 date places this piece in the coronation year of George VI, whose accession followed his brother Edward VIII's abdication in December 1936. Edward's reign was so brief that no Southern Rhodesian coins were struck bearing his effigy, making the transition from George V directly to George VI in the local series.
