This 1d red and green stamp was issued by Southern Rhodesia on 12 May 1937 to commemorate the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. It features finely engraved portraits of the royal couple, flanking a detailed central vignette of Victoria Falls, one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. Below the falls, a steam locomotive crossing the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge symbolizes the link between nature and industrial progress in the British colonial era.

This stamp forms part of the 1937 Empire Coronation omnibus series, adapted locally for Southern Rhodesia. It is prized among collectors for its striking bi-colour design, the blend of regal symbolism and scenic imagery, and its early depiction of the railway at the Falls.
