1965 Rhodesian Independence Anniversary Gold Medallion
In 1965, Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) was a British colony which, fearful of black majority rule being imposed upon them by the British, made a unilateral declaration of independence under the leadership of Ian Smith, in an attempt to ensure that Rhodesia remained under white minority rule. This action was condemned by Britain and most of the rest of the world as illegal and refused to recognise the newly independent nation.

This lack of official recognition and the constant pressure of black insurgents fighting for black majority rule eventually led to the collapse of Smith’s Rhodesia, with the Lancaster House Agreement signed in 1979 leading to the temporary re-establishment of British rule preceding the re-emergence of independence with black majority rule in 1980, whereupon the country was renamed ‘Zimbabwe’.

Buying & Selling
Buyers and sellers alike may be interested to note that gold medallions like these often trade at prices close to their intrinsic metal value. While this may not be what sellers wish to hear, it should delight potential buyers.
At the time of creating this page, we had a one of these medallions in stock, and would be happy to sell it for a modest premium over their intrinsic gold content, however as with many pages of our website, this page has a dual purpose, to sell our stock, and to provide information. If you have a similar medallion, which you would like to sell, we would be pleased to hear from you.
