Product details
The coin you are bidding on is a 1892 Silver 5 Shillings from the President Kruger Series of the ZAR.These coins are popular with collectors as they are from the first year of issue of the ZAR coinage and the 5 Shillings were only minted in 1892.The Double Shaft 5 Shillings had to be discontinued and withdrawn quickly from circulation as the German mint where it was struck incorrectly gave the oxwagon a double shaft and back and front wheels of equal size.
In the end only 4327 of the 1892 DS 5 Shillings were minted and high grade coins have become very scarce and expensive.The coin you are bidding on shows good details but have some heat damage on the Obverse at 9,12 and 3 o'clock.Maybe it was the start of trench art or an ex-mount.The pictures are at high magnification and you can see a lot more detail than you can see with the naked eye.
This gives you a chance to get an example this popular and scarce coin as a filler in your first year of issue ZAR set at a bargain price.
