African Coins

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.

You would need to know the condition and denomination (farthing, half penny, penny, three pence, six pence, shilling, 2 shilling, or 2 1/2 shilling) of the coin to be able to get an estimated value.

The R2 gold coin is a bullion coin, meaning that it's not worth much more than the gold it contains. The R2 coin contains 0.2354 fine oz of gold, and with gold currently selling for round about $1050 per fine oz the value of the coin is about R2000.

SOUTH AFRICA and the date of course. Mine is a 1965.

You are asking about the Five Shilling coin issued by South Africa in 1952 in commemoration of the 300th Anniversary of the founding of Capetown. The coin bears a portrait of King George the Sixth (of Great Britain) on the front and and an image of a Schooner in Capetown harbor on the back. The coin is 50% silver and has an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.4546 troy ounces. Numismatically, it is worth perhaps a dollar or two over the silver value in circulated condition, about US$12 in Uncirculated condition, and maybe US$15 or so in Proof.

1942 Southern Rhodesia One Penny with Uncirculated Condition valued upto $110.00 US. and Extra fine condition valued upto $65.00. Hope it will help..

Numismatically, the value would depend on the year and condition of the coin.

In terms of silver value, those produced through 1950 were 1.41 grams and 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0363 troy ounces and a silver value (as of February 10, 2011, with silver at $30.10 per troy ounce) of US1.09. From 1951-1960, the purity of the silver was reduced to 50%, giving it an ASW of 0.0227 troy ounces and a "melt value" of US$0.68.

The value of a 1967 Kenya shilling depends on the condition of the coin. Since the coin is not rare, it is only worth approximately $2.00 (as of 2014).

What is the denomination (10 centavos, etc)? Collector value of a coin depends on denomination, date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info. Brad

You are asking about the 2 Rand gold coin (KM#64) from South Africa. The coin weighs 7.9881 grams and is 91.7% gold, giving it an AGW (Actual Gold Weight) of 0.2355 troy ounces. 3,014 circulation strikes were produced, as well as another 3,932 in Proof. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin would be worth its gold value in circulated condition (on November 2, 2010 with gold at US$1,356 per troy ounce, that would equate to US$319.34), with a 10% premium in Uncirculated condition and a 15% premium for a Proof example.

It depends on the denomination and condition of the coin. "Elizabeth II Regina" means "Elizabeth the Second, Queen", and "South Africa Suid-Afrika" is simply the name of the country, first in English and then in Afrikaans. All coins issued in South Africa in 1957 had both phrases ("Elizabeth II Regina" and "South Africa Suid-Afrika") on them.

You asked about a 1/10 Penny coin from British West Africa. 3,984,000 of such coins were produced in 1927. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$0.20 in Fine condition, about US$0.50 in Very Fine condition, about US$1.50 in Extremely Fine condition, about US$3.00 in Uncirculated condition, about US$6.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, and about US$150.00 in Proof.

You are asking about a Two-and-a-Half Shilling coin from South Africa (KM#7). The front has an image of Paul Kruger (the 5th President of the South African Republic) and the words "ZUID AFRIKAANISCHE REPUBLIEK", which is Afrikaans for "South African Republic". The back says has a coat of arms, above which are "2 1/2 SHILLINGS" and "1895". There were 182,000 such coins produced in 1896. The coin weighs 14.138 grams and is 92.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.4205 troy ounces. With silver at US$21.69 per troy ounce (as of September 28, 2010), the coin's "melt" value is thus US$9.12. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is worth about US$30.00 in Fine condition, US$60.00 in Very Fine condition, US$450.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$900.00 in Uncirculated condition.

The only silver-colored coins minted by Liberia in 1996 were composed of Copper-Nickel (there were also two gold coins produced in that denomination in that year).

You are asking about a 1/2 Crown coin (KM#7) from Rhodesia and Nyasaland. It made of copper-nickel and is roughly the size of a US half dollar. The front has an image of Queen Elizabeth the Second, and the back has a coat of arms along with the country, denomination and date. 160,000 such coins were produced for circulation in 1956, as well as a small number in Proof.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and example is worth US$7.50 in Fine condition, US$15.00 in Very Fine condition, US$35.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$250.00 in Uncirculated condition. A value is not provided for Proof, but I would expect it to be markedly highler than the Uncirculated value.

You are asking about a 1 Crown coin from Southern Rhodesia (KM#27). The coin is 38.5mm in diameter, weighs 28.28 grams and is 50% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.4546 troy ounces. The coin was issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Cecil Rhodes, and its obverse (front) bears an image of Queen Elizabeth the Second, while the reverse (back) bears an image of a cameo of Cecil Rhodes flanked by springs and ribbons and three shields. The edge has the words "1853 OUT OF VISION CAME REALITY 1953" inscribed. 124,000 were produced, as well as an additional 1,500 in proof.

With silver at about US21.70 per troy ounce (as of October 1, 2010), the melt value of this coin is US$9.86.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is worth US$12.50 in Very Fine condition, US$20 in Extremely Fine condition, US$40 in Uncirculated condition, US$60 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, US$125 in Proof, and US$350 in Matte Proof. The "Very Fine" and "Extremely Fine" values, however, probably understate current values somewhat in light of the recent rise in silver prices.

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.
