Offered here is a genuine 1956 South African Union One Shilling, catalogued as KM#49, struck in 50% silver. These historic pre-decimal coins remain highly collectible among South African numismatists and silver coin enthusiasts.
The obverse features the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse displays the elegant allegorical standing female figure beside an anchor with bilingual legends South Africa / Suid-Afrika. This classic design is among the most recognisable of the Union series.
Dated 1956, this coin comes from the later silver circulating issues before South Africa moved fully into decimal coinage. An excellent addition to any South African coin collection, silver type set, or Commonwealth numismatic holding.
Condition XF
Circulated example with light wear. Major design details remain clearly visible, legends readable, and surfaces show handling marks and light contact wear. A respectable collector-grade example with pleasing overall appearance.
