6 Pence - George VI

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.
