1960 South Africa 5S Union Anniversary (PL 66)

Description:

Issued to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Union of South Africa (19101960), this 1960 5 Shillings silver coin stands out as a significant historical and numismatic piece. Struck in .500 fine silver, it features a beautifully detailed portrait of Jan van Riebeeck on the obverse, with the reverse celebrating the unity of the four provinces.
Graded PL 66 (Prooflike), this coin exhibits mirror-like surfaces and strong eye appeal, placing it in the high gem category. With very few surviving in such top-tier condition, this is a rare opportunity to secure a well-preserved commemorative silver crown from the pre-decimal era of South African coinage.
