Offered here is an original 1929 South Africa 6 Pence silver coin from the reign of King George V, featuring his crowned portrait on the obverse and the iconic proteas with crossed bundles of sticks on the reverse.
This is part of the early Union of South Africa coinage (1923 1936), all struck in sterling silver (0.800 Ag). These pre-World War II silver issues are becoming increasingly scarce in decent condition due to both melting and collector demand.

Historical Note:
The 1920s Union silver coins are part of South Africas first national coinage under British administration. The 1929 issue is notably harder to find than the later 1930s pieces, especially in undamaged, lightly worn condition.
Investment Note:
1920s Union silver coins have shown steady appreciation over the past decade as collector demand increases and fewer remain in tradeable grades.
