DESCRIPTION:
1952–1964 PROOF COIN SET
The decimal rand currency was introduced in South Africa in February 1961, after the referendum of November 1960 which established autonomy from the British Empire , but before the new status came into effect in May 1961. The coins bear the forward-facing portrait of Jan van Riebeeck on the obverse.
The initial circulation coins of the Republic were the following
½ cent 1 cent 2½ cents (replaced 3d) 5 cents (replaced 6d) 10 cents (replaced 1s) 20 cents (replaced 2s) 50 cents (replaced 5s)
The coins initially had the same size as the former South African coins. All except the ½ and 1 cent coins were in silver. The previous South African farthing coin (1/4d) and half-a-crown (2s and 6d) were not continued in decimal currency. The images were kept the same on the reverse of the new silver coins as per the replaced Union silver coins.
