This is a South African 5 Shillings coin from 1948, featuring King George VI on the obverse and a springbok on the reverse. 
Here's a bit of history about the coin:
Currency: From 1910 to 1961, South Africa used the South African Sterling, which was equal in value to the British Pound Sterling. 
Value: Five shillings were equal to 1 crown, which was 1/4 of a Pound Sterling. 
Composition: These coins were struck in 80% silver and weigh 28.28 grams. 
Design: The springbok design on the reverse is the same one that later appeared on the famous Krugerrand gold coin.
