You are asking about a Six Pence coin from South Africa (KM#27). The coin weighs 2.83 grams and is 80.0% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0728 troy ounces. With silver at US$29.25 per troy ounce (as of January 5, 2011), the "melt value" of this coin is about US$2.13.

The obverse of the coin has a portrait of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King and Emperor"). The reverse has an image of a protea flower in the middle of a cicle made of six bars, with the words "SOUTH Africa", the date, and "SUID AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above and the denomination ("6D") below.

1,725,000 of these coins were produced for circulation in 1938. According to the 2010 Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$1.20 in Fine condition, US$2.00 in Very Fine condition, US$7.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$17.50 in Uncirculated condition.

Another 44 were produced in Proof condition - these are valued at about US$125.00 each.
