In 1965 the Rhodesian Government declared independence from Britain. Rhodesia functioned despite sanctions for the following 15 years until finally being recognized internationally as independent, after a change of government, and becoming the Republic of Zimbabwe, in 1980.

During those 15 years coins without Queen Elizabeth's portrait were struck for which mintage figures are fairly standard though not all denominations were minted each year. The present variety of 5-Cents was minted in 1975, 1976 and 1977 only. Proofs, however, were only struck in 1975 and the reported mintage for these proofs is an incredibly low number.

This and the other proofs of the short-lived Republic of Rhodesia are true numismatic rarities of the 20th century.
