Struck in 1931, this gold coin represents a fascinating chapter in South African coining history. Produced at the Pretoria Mint, it contains 0.2354 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 91.67 percent. This particular issue had a mintage of 8,512,000 pieces and is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The obverse of the coin displays the portrait of King George V, accompanied by a partial Latin inscription.
