Description from the seller
South Africa. Pretoria. 5 Shillings. 1960. Elizabeth II (1952–2022).
Value: 5 Shillings
Year: 1960
Reign: Isabel II (1952–2022)
- Inscriptions: SUID-AFRIKA · 1960 · SOUTH AFRICA · 5 seconds. MAKE WAY · UNITY IS STRENGTH · 1910 · 1960
- Grade: PL66 (NGC)
Commemorative coin of the 50th anniversary of the Union of South Africa, established in 1910 as an autonomous dominion of the British Empire. The obverse features the country's traditional coat of arms, representing its four original provinces. The reverse depicts the Parliament building (Union Buildings) in Pretoria, with the dates 1910 and 1960 surrounded by the national motto in Afrikaans and English. This piece, graded Prooflike 66, stands out for its excellent preservation and mint luster, making it a key numismatic reference from the pre-republican South African period.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make it absolutely clear that I ship from Spain. This means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (for example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs, and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and is completely out of our control. Thank you for your understanding.
