You are asking about a 5 Shilling coin (also called a "Crown") from South Africa (KM#40.1). The coin weighs 28.28 grams and is 80.0% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.7273 troy ounces. With silver at US$18.50 per troy ounce (as of June 1, 2010), the "melt value" of this coin is about US$13.46.
The obverse of the coin has a portrait of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King"). The reverse has an image of a Springbok (an African antelope), with the words "SOUTH Africa", the date, and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above and the denomination ("5 SHILLING") below.
535,000 of these coins were produced in 1949. According to the 2010 Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$13.50 in Extremely Fine condition and US$20.00 in Uncirculated condition. Given the current price of silver, however, the actual numismatic value of these coins is probably actually a dollar or two higher.
Another 2,000 were produced in Proof-like condition - these are valued at about US$35.00 each; and 800 were produced in Proof condition - these are valued at about US$50.00 each.

Good question! I assume you are referring to the South African R5 Mandela coins. There are quite a lot in issue and some people have cottoned onto the idea of grading the coins and thus sell them for thousands. I would suggest they are worth only face value, as it is still legal tender in South Africa. And if you are looking to collect one or two as memorabilia, then by all means do so. If I had to buy one, as I am not in South Africa, I would say $8 at most. I hope that helps.

That depends. To me, he is a very awesome guitarist. I would pay him 2000 dollars to play at my birthday.
* When a person reaches 90 years old they consider having their family and friends around them to celebrate their birthday of higher significance and generally people of this age don't really need much as far as birthday gifts and prefers your attendance as a family member or a friend to help celebrate a very special day of yet another year or hopefully more years to come. It's the love, laughter and memories that make a birthday celebration successful rather than gifts.
