Commemorative coin celebrating the 300th anniversary of Jan van Riebeeck's arrival and the founding of Cape Town in 1652. The reverse features an impressive 17th-century Dutch ship sailing off the coast with Table Mountain in the background, symbolizing the colonial beginnings in the southern tip of Africa. The portrait of King George VI on the obverse marks one of his last appearances on coins before the start of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. This piece is highly significant for both Commonwealth collectors and those interested in Africa's colonial history.
