Louis,
That is a very nice coin that you have got there.

The South African 1947 5 Shillings was struck to commemorate the visit of the British Royal Family to South Africa.

Yes,I do have one of these in my own collection.

Aidan.

I haven't seen them until just lately,Only mintage of 300K by my book.
I also like the 1954 Australian Royal Visit Coin.
The one I have in my album was sold to a Naval officer on a ship somewhere in the sea of Japan.
It took 6 weeks to get to him.
Cheers, Louie
