Best Answer

You are asking about a 3 Pence coin (KM#26) from South Africa dated 1942. The coin is 16.5mm in diameter, weighs 1.41 grams and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0363 troy ounces. The obverse (front) of the coin has an image of King George VI of Great Britain and the words "GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King and Emperor"). 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. 8,055,999 of these coins were produced in 1942.

With silver currently (as of April 6, 2010) at $18.10 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 Very Fine condition, US$3 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$9 in Uncirculated condition.

The reverse (back) bears an image of the sailing ship "Dromedaris" at sea, with the words "SOUTH AFRICA", "1940" and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above, and the denomination "1 D" below. 14,428,000 of these coins were produced for circulation in 1942, both with and without a star after the date.
