Up for your consideration is a stunning 1953 South Africa Proof Set, issued during the historic coronation year of Queen Elizabeth II. This 9-coin set is a beautiful representation of South African numismatics, ranging from the large, iconic Silver 5 Shillings (featuring the leaping Springbok) all the way down to the bronze Farthing with its charming Cape Sparrows.
