South African Stamp Heritage : Gold Gilded Sterling Silver Medallion Set

Thirty-five years ago, cardholders of Standard Bank were invited by the Africana Commemorative Mint to invest in the so called “South African Stamp Heritage Collection” Herman Steyn, the then Director of Philatelic Services at the Department of Posts and Telecommunications, was commissioned to select the most significant of South Africa’s stamp classics of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal (ZAR).

Twenty-Five stamps were selected, and Proof quality replicas of these were minted in gold plated sterling silver (92.5% PURE SILVER).

A worldwide limit of 5000 sets was issued.

According to the original prospectus, “…the master striking dies will be defaced on completion of the minting (process), to protect the integrity of the collection. They will be housed in the Postal Museum, Pretoria”

The collection comes set in a traditional handcrafted collector’s cabinet lined in velvet.
