Flag of Rhodesia

Uncommon card · No. 187218

The flag of Rhodesia (modern-day Zimbabwe) changed with political developments in the country. At independence in 1965, the recently adopted sky blue flag of Southern Rhodesia was used, until a new flag (the green and white triband) was adopted in 1968. The 1968 flag remained in use following the declaration of the republic in 1970 and thus is associated with the end of the crown in Rhodesia. It was also initially the flag of Zimbabwe Rhodesia until a new flag was adopted in September 1979.
