This is an attractive complete set of the collectible South African silver crowns.

The silver crowns of South Africa are a popular series, not only within South Africa but also right around the world.

It is finite enough to make it a series that is possible to complete, but is also complex enough to offer a challenge.

This particular set was formed by 2 generations of the same family, the only coin that was not acquired out of circulation or by swapping with fellow collectors was the 1959.
