interesting sixpence

  • on: August 14, 2013, 01:53 PM
Was looking at the sixpences and tiekies that I have found lately and noticed this:
all the coins bear the 3d or 6d and south africa - suid afrika markings   exept one
the 1929 sixpence is marked: 6 pence and south africa - zuid afrika(Z instead of S)
I think thats pretty interesting

Hi,

Coins are always interesting ..........

On the sixpence the "Zuid" changed to "Suid" in 1930/31
Also note the "6 PENCE " changed to "6 D "

Luuk  thanks for bring up this topic ...... I always enjoy doing a bit of research.

Sorry my info seems to be wrong on the above pic reference ......

The SUID-AFRICA  19XX should of course re SOUTH AFRICA 19XX
