A fascinating piece of South African numismatic history the complete 1989 SA Mint New Coin Series Pattern Piece Set, presented in its original SA Mint folder.
The set contains all nine pattern pieces, produced ahead of the introduction of South Africa's new coin series. Rather than carrying normal circulating coin designs, these special pieces were produced to represent the diameter, colour and edge serration of the proposed denominations.
Included are pattern pieces corresponding to:
R5 R2 R1 50c 20c 10c 5c 2c 1c
One side carries individual identification letters, while the reverse is marked PATTERN PIECE / PATROONSTUK 1989.
The original bilingual SA Mint presentation folder is also particularly attractive, showing the proposed New Coin Series Designs and clearly identifying the issuer as S.A. Mint Company (Pty) Ltd / S.A. Muntmaatskappy (Edms) Bpk.
A superb South African collector's piece documenting an important stage in the development of our modern coinage.
Complete with all nine pattern pieces and original presentation folder.
