You are asking about a 1 penny coin from South Africa (KM#25). The coin is made of bronze, measures 30.8mm in diameter, and weighs 9.600 grams. The obverse (front) bears and image of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King and Emperor"). The reverse (back) has an image of the sailing ship Dromedaris in full sail, with the date "1945" above, the denomination "1 D" (for "One Penny") below, "SOUTH Africa" to the left and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") to the right. 4,810,000 were produced for circulation in 1956, and another 150 in Proof for collectors.

You are asking about a Shilling coin from South Africa (KM#37.1). The coin weighs 5.66 grams and is 80.0% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.1456 troy ounces. With silver at US$23.15 per troy ounce (as of October 21, 2010), the "melt value" of this coin is about US$3.37.

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 standing female figure leaning on a large anchor, with the words "SOUTH AFRICA", the date, and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above and the denomination ("SHILLING") below.

Only 800 of these coins were produced in 1949, all in Proof. According to the 2010 Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$225.
