You are asking about a 3 Pence coin (KM#35.2) from South Africa dated 1951. The coin is 16.5mm in diameter, weighs 1.41 grams and is 50% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0227 troy ounces. The obverse (front) of the coin has an image of King George VI of Great Britain and the words "GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King"). The reverse (back) of the coin has a protea flower in the center of three bars shaped as an inverted triangle, with the words "SOUTH Africa", the date, and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above the flower and the denomination, "3D" ("D" being the abbreviation for pence) below it. 6,323,000 of these coins were produced for circulation in 1951, plus another 2,000 in Proof for collectors.
With silver currently (as of January 6, 2011) at $29.10 per troy ounce, the "melt value" of this coin is about 66 US cents. Numismatically (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins), an example is probably worth about US$1 in Extremely Fine condition, US$3 in Uncirculated condition, and US$4 in Proof.

With silver currently (as of February 10, 2011) at $30.10 per troy ounce, the "melt value" of this coin is about US$1.09. Numismatically (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins), an example is probably worth about US$1.00 in Very Fine condition, US$3.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$9.00 in Uncirculated condition. About 150 were also produced in Proof for collectors - an example would be valued at about US$60.00.
Note that in 1945, a number of three-pence coins were produced with the "5" in the date over a "3" - these would be worth about US$3.00 in Very Fine condition, US$10.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$20.00 in Uncirculated condition.
