The Cape of Good Hope was known as “ the Tavern of the Seas” as it welcomed many seafaring nations from around the world. This was evident in the multitude of foreign coins that was accepted and circulated at the Cape from the time of van Riebeeck.

Thirty years ago in 1978, the Africana Commemorative Mint issued a set of 30 Gold Plated Sterling Silver Coins in a yellow wood and stinkwood presentation case. The collection was called “ Our Cape Coin Heritage ” commemorating the coins that circulated in the Cape of Good Hope from the early 1600s to the early 1800s.
