Unusual 1000 Limited Edition Proof Silver 2007-2008 International Polar Year SA Mint Combination set

Proof Sterling Silver Limited Edition 2007-2008 International Polar

Year set in SA Mint wooden presentation box with Certificate of

Authenticity 

This is an interesting and unusual set consisting of a R2 Crown, a

Tickey and a solid silver model of the SA Agulhas, the oceanographic

research vessel of South Africa. It is one of a Limited Edition of 1000,

in an attractive SA Mint wooden presentation box. The set celebrates

the International Polar Year 2007 - 2008.

The SA Agulhas model weighs 20 grams.

The R2 Crown also depicts the SA Agulhas:

 The Crown is a large coin with 38.725mm diameter and weight of 33.626 grams. As you can see, the other side of the crown is also very attractive showing the new SA Coat of Arms and the official  languages.

The Tickey has a map of the Antarctic, with a Protea on the other side.

(Please note I've included both scans and photographs of the coin because the scans show the exquisite detail but the photographs capture the lustre and real beauty of the coins).

 Both coins are encapsulated. The Limition Edition set is numbered 0312. 

Thank-you for your interest in my coins.
