Unfortunately a couple of them have had a light wipe, but with a mintage of only 1,402, I am not too concerned. If I manage to find better examples I may upgrade at a later stage. Here is some of the detail in these coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Can you confirm that it is Dutch explorer Jan van Riebeeck's ship the Dromedaris on the reverse of the coins? Report this Post to the Staff

That has always been my understanding. As for what the woman with the anchor signifies, she represents hope. She is represented on the old coat of arms of South Africa as shown on the Florin and 2 1/2 shillings. Edited by latman100 05/23/2010 11:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
