HIGH VALUE COINS WITH HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE

• National Sovereignty: Represented a major step in financial independence, ending sole reliance on British circulating coins and older Kruger-era ZAR currency.
• The Sterling Series Launch: Established the foundational design and specifications for South African pound coinage (matching British sizes and values: 12 pence to a shilling, 20 shillings to a pound).

Extreme Rarity: Proof specimens from this inaugural 1923 year are exceptionally scarce and highly coveted by numismatists today.

The Union of South Africa issued coins from 1923, in denominations of ¼, ½, 1, 3 and 6 pence, 1, 2 (initially denominated as a florin) and 2½ shillings, ½ and 1 sovereign. The coins were the same weights as the corresponding British coins but the silver coins (3 pence up to 2½ shillings) were struck in .800 fineness silver. Gold coins were struck until 1932.

King George V was born on June 3, 1865. He was the son of Edward, Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. George V ascended the throne in 1910 and reigned until his death in 1936. He is known for the South African Union's coins issued during his reign.
