I'm wondering if there is much interest in the African 5 Shilling coin....mainly from 1947 to 1950. It's a large silver coin (.7274 asw) and the pricing of these coins is within everyone's budget. All regular mintages are below 800K with the proofs or P L having mintages well above the regular issue mintages.......as high as 5.6 million. I personally like the "Suid Afrika" spelling (besides being a high silver content coin.) Just wondering.

Is this the coin of which you speak? I do like them :) Just not too many of them come across the counter of Lone Star Coins in San Antonio TX. :(

Zuid Afrikaans the boer language is counted as a dialect of Dutch and Flemish
In Dutch and Flemish it is Zuid Afrika spelling
I guess I understand better then 90% of the written language which is better then the language spoken by the people born at the Flemish seaside

That's a very nice coin. I only have one pre-decimal South African coin. That's a 1942 Half Penny.
