On either side of the statuette is the country name in English - "SOUTHERN RHODESIA", below - one shilling - "ONE SHILLING". Below the stylized bird image are the medallist's initials: "KG" - George Edward Kruger-Gray. The edge is decorated with decorative denticles.

In the central part of the coin is struck the left-facing profile of King George VI of Great Britain.

Below the truncation of the monarch's neck is the author's mark of the British medallist "PM" - Percy Metcalfe. The coin's edge features decorative raised denticles.
