∙ 13y agoYou are asking about a One Shilling coin from South Africa (KM#5). The front has an image of Paul Kruger (the 5th President of the South African Republic). The back says "Z. AFRIK. REP." (an abbreviation for "ZUID AFRIKAANISCHE REPUBLIEK", which in turn is Afrikaans for "South African Republic") above a wreath, within which are "1 SHILLING" and "1897". There were 397,000 such coins produced in 1897. The coin weighs 5.6555 grams and is 92.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.1682 troy ounces. With silver at US$18.34 per troy ounce (as of August 5, 2010), the coin's "melt" value is thus US$3.08. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is worth about US$6.00 in Very Fine condition, US$20.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$40.00 in Uncirculated condition.

What is the value of a half Crown ZAR coin dated 1897?
You are asking about a 2 1/2 Shilling coin from South Africa (KM#7). The coin weighs 14.138 grams and is 92.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.4205 troy ounces.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$10 in Very Fine condition, US$30 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$75 in Uncirculated condition.
