You are asking about a One Cent coin from South Africa (KM#57). The coin is made of brass, weighs 9.42 grams, and is about 30mm in diameter. The front bears a portrait of Jan van Riebeeck (a 17th-century Dutch colonial administrator and founder of Cape Town) and the words "UNITY IS STRENGTH" and "EENDRAG MAAK MAG" (Afrikaans for "Unity is Strength"). The back bears an image of a covered wagon with the date "1961" above, the denomination "1 C" below, "SOUTH Africa" to the left and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") to the right. 52,266,000 were produced for circulation in 1961, as well as another 7,530 in Proof for collectors.

According to the Standard Catalog of World coins, an example is worth US$0.15 in Very Fine condition, US$0.40 in Extremely Fine condition, US$1.50 in Uncirculated condition, and US$0.75 in Proof.
