Southern Rhodesia - post some coins

I've previously posted some 1 shilling & 2 shilling coins from Southern Rhodesia. This last weekend I was offered a couple bright red examples of the half penny & penny. Both are dated 1951. Here they are:


P.S.
Notice how the reverse of these coins lend themselves to being displayed up-side-down? When the text is right-side-up, the crown is up-side-down.

Here's my 2 shilling from Southern Rhodesia.

Nice coins the 1951 half penny looks looks like Gem MS65+.
This area World coins is one area my world coins collection is very limited .but like seeing whateverything posted.

 

I only have these for Southern Rhodesia, though I have a few other combinations of Rhodesia. Incidentally, I believe the shilling is rather rare, and I found it in a dealer's junk bin. They didn't even know it was silver.

 

I am not sure if both are Southern Rhodesia due the coins also having Rhodesia+Nyasaland on Obv??? but here they are.

 

Federated Rhodesia and Nyasaland, and the other is from when Rhodesia unilaterally declared independence haha !


I will post my southern Rhodesia coins soon, I have quite a lot some need an upgrade but others are cool ! I really like the EII issues of 1954 I only need the 2s now !

that area of Africa I only seen thru map and Sat views and history book back 1960's well good but I may have slept thru class. US Army never sent me that far south.

 

It's Zimbabwe now and is near the bottom of most types of rankings of the nations, so you really have no reason to go there now either.

 

Yeah, Mugabe did a good job... I really think the days of Rhodesia were numbered when they uni-laterally declared independence..

Here are two coins that I would have liked to buy on local South Africa site. I do not think I would see my old valley again.
