On 17 February 1970 the Rhodesian dollar was introduced and was par to the Pound; the currency was manufactured as follows - bronze 1 ⁄ 2 and 1 cent and cupro-nickel 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 cent coins were introduced, which circulated alongside the earlier coins of the Rhodesian pound for 5, 10, 20 and 25 cents, which were also denominated in shillings and pence.
The last Rhodesian coins were struck in 1977. The 1977 1 ⁄ 2 cent coin is extremely rare, with 10 pieces known. Following independence under majority rule in 1980 as Zimbabwe, the Rhodesian dollar was withdrawn in late 1980 and replaced by the Zimbabwean dollar at par.
