Offered here is a genuine 1958 South African Union Two Shillings, catalogued as KM#50, struck in 50% silver. This denomination was the South African equivalent of the florin and remains one of the most sought-after circulating silver coins of the late Union era.
The obverse features the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse carries the denomination with bilingual legends South Africa / Suid-Afrika, reflecting the countrys dual-language heritage. With its larger format and silver composition, the two shillings is especially popular among collectors and investors alike.
Issued only a few years before South Africa decimalised in 1961, this 1958 example represents an important closing chapter of traditional pound-denominated South African coinage.
Condition XF
Circulated example with moderate wear consistent with use. Main details remain visible, legends clear, and rims intact. Light handling marks and age-related surface wear present. A solid collector-grade coin with pleasing overall eye appeal.
