Answer 1

You are asking about a Three Pence coin from South Africa (KM#15.2), often referred to locally as a "Ticky" or "Tickie." The coin is 16.5mm in diameter, weighs 1.41 grams and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0363 troy ounces. With silver at about US$26.25 per troy ounce (as of November 18, 2010), the coin has a "melt" value of US$0.95. The obverse (front) of the coin has a portrait of King George the Fifth, facing left, with the words "GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Fifth, King [and] Emperor"). The reverse (back) has a protea flower surrounded by three fasces(bundles of sticks) with the denomination ("3D", the abbreviation for Three Pence) below, the date above, "SOUTH Africa" to the left and "SUID AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") to the right. There were 2,357,000 such coins produced in 1934 for circulation, and another 24 produced in Proof.
