Set Description:
A complete set of all notes from Rhodesia, containing both the Pound and Dollar series from 1964 until 1979. I started grading this set after completing my South African set, in 2019. The series contains only 3 design types, from the 1964 series, the 1966 series, and the 1970-79 series. The designs feature Queen Elizabeth II, the Roan antelope, the Giraffe, the Lion, the Victoria Falls, and the Great Zimbabwe ruins. The early notes are very attractive, and difficult to obtain in high grades. The later notes have some interesting and scarce notes, like the $1 dated 2 August 1979, which was dated after Rhodesia ceased to exist. The scarce Pick 35d $2 with the incorrect Rhodes watermark is my favorite note in this set.
There are also Replacement notes illustrated, for example the Pick 41a* with Prefix Z/1.
