It depends on the date and condition of the coin. Pennies with King George the Fifth were produced in South Africa between 1923 and 1936. Broadly, the most valuable are those produced from 1926 through 1928 - these can be worth up to US$100 in Uncirculated condition (although probably only about US$10 in nice circulated condition - what collectors call "Very Fine"). Later coins are probably worth more like US$20 to US$40 in Uncirculated condition and a dollar or two in Very Fine. Note that a handful of Proof pennies were produced from 1930 onwards(10 to 60) - these are worth US$300 to US$800 each (many more 1923 Proofs were produced, leaving them valued at about US$50 each).
I would need to know the year and condition of the coin in order to give a useful answer numismatically.
There are 100 South African cents in a South African rand, and a rand is worth (as of May 1, 2013) about 11 US cents, so the face value of the coin is minimal.
I have a 5 shillings coin 1652-1952 that I want to sell contact me on 0845773125.

Please post a new question with enough details to identify the coin you're interested in. What country? What date? What denomination? I have the rare Georgivs sextvs rex coin for sale. Anyone interested can email me on omark@vodamail.co.za or call me on 078 558 9937 ------------ Note that "GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX" is Latin for "George the Sixth, King" and is not a sufficient description to identify a coin. The coin in question was produced between 1948 and 1952, and is likely South African, but many different coins were produced during that period by South Africa, and none of them are really "rare" (other than any gold issues, which have a high metal value, the 2 1/2 Shilling coins of 1948, 1949 and 1950 are the only "GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX" coins worth more than US$50.00 in circulated condition, and those three are only worth about US$75.00 in Extremely Fine condition.

It's impossible to say, because the question doesn't include the country, denomination, or date of the coin.
