This coin is one of the most sought-after in South African Numismatics. It’s often considered the second most important coin in South Africa’s history, right behind the 1898 Single 9 Pond, but it can also be seen as the most significant of the Big 5 ZAR coins.

WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
I have personally bought some of the most sought after coins that have seldom come on the market until now, it would appear that collectors of some of the rarest coins in South Africa have not previously found a marketplace in which they have felt confident enough to sell some of their most prized coins. However Bassanis, with their generational reputation and credibility has now become the place for such collectors.
From one month to the next coins that have never before and possibly will never again, come up for auction.
I was also so impressed to see how you scan bullion coins to make sure they are 100% genuine before allowing them to be auctioned, it gives me great confidence.
Thank you Dillon and your team!
