Description

In 1964, copper-nickel coins were introduced in denominations of 6d, 1/–, 2/–, and 2/6, all featuring a portrait of Hastings Banda. In 1967, 1d coins were added to the series. The 1d coin had a smooth edge, while the others had 4x4 interrupted milling. The abbreviation "d" for penny, such as in 1d, comes from the Roman denarius.
