I suspect that you are asking about the 1947 Five Shilling Coin from South Africa (KM#31), issued to commemorate King George the Sixth's Royal Visit to SOuth Africa. The front bears a portrait of the King (facing left) an dthe words "GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King and Emperor"). The back has an image of a springbok (an African antelope) with "1947" above, "SOUTH AFRICA" to the left, "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") to the right, and "5 SHILLINGS" below. 300,000 such coins were produced for circulation in 1947, and another 5,600 in Proof condition for collectors.
The coin is 38.8mm in diameter (a "crown sized" coin) and weighs 28.28 grams and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual SIlver Weight) of 0.7273 troy ounces. With silver at US$43.95 per troy ounce (as of May 3, 2011), it has a "melt value" of US$31.96.
According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is valued at US$12.50 in Very Fine condition, US$15.00 in Extremely Fine condition, US$20.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$45.00 in Proof condition.
