D stands for "denarius". It comes from when, back in the Roman times, the British used Roman currency (which was called the denarius). As the penny replaced the Denarius, the British continued to use the abbreviation "d." They passed this tradition on to South Africa, so the D on African Coins is an abbreviation for penny.
