The most valuable Five Shilling coin from South Africa was, by a large margin, the 1892 coin, the two varieties of which are valued at between US$1,000 and US$2,000 (the wagon with a double shart on the tongue is the more valuable variety) in Uncirculated condition. The 1959 is the next most valuable, at about US$100. The 1950 is valued at about US$60. Others are valued largely at their silver value (with Silver at US$40.40 per troy ounce as of September 12, 2011, about US$29.40 for coins dated 1950 and before containing 0.7273 troy ounces, and about US$18.35 for coins dated 1951 and after containing 0.4546 troy ounces), although Proof examples are generally worth a bit more.

In 1950, the South African shilling was a currency used in South Africa before the country decimalized its currency in 1961. At that time, one South African shilling was worth 1/20 of a pound, or 10 cents in the decimal currency system. Therefore, the value of 1 South African shilling in 1950 can be considered approximately equivalent to 10 cents in today's currency. However, historical exchange rates and inflation would need to be factored in for a more precise modern comparison.

depends on how strong the African is
The South African shilling, which was used prior to the decimalization in 1961, is no longer in circulation, making it challenging to assign a direct contemporary value. However, historical collectors may value a 1652 shilling based on its rarity and condition rather than a direct currency conversion. As a collectible, its worth could range significantly, potentially reaching hundreds or even thousands of South African rand depending on the market. For an accurate valuation, consulting with a numismatic expert or appraiser would be advisable.
