Yesterday at my weekly jaunt to the coin shoppe, I picked up a nice trio of coins from the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek. They include a sixpence of 1893, a shilling of 1894, and a 2 1/2 shilling (Half crown) of 1896. All coins are silver, bearing the image of Paul Kruger on the front. The coins grade F-VF, depending on the actual coin.

I put a photo of the half crown into my image gallery.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Krause for the 1800s. :( Can someone give me the information for these little guys? They're very interesting coins, from an interesting period of South African history.

The banner reading "eendrag maakt macht" means "unity makes strength" I think. The only other thing I know is they must have been expensive :D
Nice coins..
