1949 SOUTH AFRICA SILVER TICKEY KING GEORGE VI THREEPENCE
Small in size, rich in South African history!
This 1949 silver threepence, affectionately known as a tickey, is a charming collectible from the Union of South Africas pre-decimal era. Struck in 80% silver, it brings together a royal portrait and the distinctive South African protea design.
The obverse features King George VI facing left, surrounded by GEORGIVS SEXTVS REX. The reverse displays a protea within three groups of bars arranged as a triangle, framed by SOUTH AFRICA SUID-AFRIKA, with the date above and 3D denomination below.
Condition: Circulated, with visible wear and surface marks. The protea retains attractive detail, while the date and inscriptions remain clearly readable. Please inspect both photographs to assess condition.
A lovely addition to a Union coin collection, a George VI date set, or a selection of historic South African silver.
The actual coin pictured is the coin you will receive.
