You are asking about a 5 Shilling coin from South Africa (KM#8.1). The coin weighs 28.2759 grams and is 92.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.8409 troy ounces. With silver at US$16.92 per troy ounce (as of March 22, 2010), the "melt value" of this coin is about US$14.23.

The obverse of the coin has a portrait of Paul Kruger. and the words "ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK" (Afrikaans for "South African Republic") .The reverse has the denomination and date above a coat of arms.

14,000 of these coins were produced in 1896. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$60 in Fine condition, US$150 in Very Fine condition, US$350 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$1,100 in Uncirculated condition.

There is also a second version of this coin (KM#8.2), which differs from the first only in that the covered wagon in the coat of arms on the reverse of the coin has two shafts on the wagon tongue (the part hooked to an animal to pull the wagon) rather than just one. 4,327 of these coins were produced, and an example is worth about US$90 in Fine condition, US$200 in Very Fine condition, US$550 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$1,800 in Uncirculated condition. A further 25 to 30 were produced in Proof - these are valued at about US$4,250 each.
