Rhodesia Coins, Independent Southern Rhodesia

Here's a Rhodesia 1964 proof set which I bought by mail from the Rhodesian government in 1964:


Rhodesia proof set case (6 x 2-1/4 inches or 15.25 x 5.7 cm)

The proof sets were made by the South African Mint in Pretoria. South Africa was one of the few countries which had diplomatic relations with Rhodesia.

The coin obverses had Queen Elizabeth II on them.
