Rhodesia and Nyasaland pound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pound was the currency of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The federation was formed in 1953, and the new currency was created in 1956 to replace the Southern Rhodesian pound which had been circulating in all parts of the federation (Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia, and Nyasaland). The Rhodesia and Nyasaland pound replaced the Southern Rhodesian pound at par.
The federation broke up in 1964 when Southern Rhodesia became Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia became Zambia, and Nyasaland became Malawi. Each created their own pound, at par with the Rhodesia and Nyasaland pound.
