Info:

The S A Mint produced "twin" sets of the R2 and R1 gold coins in green leatherette cases. Sadly a large number of these coins also ended up being scrapped and the boxes discarded. Building a complete set of twin gold proof coins in their original boxes might be a daunting task as most of these boxes do not exist any more. The R2 and R1 gold coins hardly ever come up for sale in the twin boxes and these gold twin sets with the original box should be considered as scarce. Although these coins were never part of the circulation series, they are interesting and very valuable as collectibles, and they should be in greater demand by collectors. In 1983 the last gold coins were struck using the effigy of Jan van Riebeeck. After 59 years Jan van Riebeeck disappeared from the South African coins and banknotes.

The initials T.S. on these coins are those of Tommy Sasseen.Tommy Sasseen's most important contribution in die-sinking is the nickel coin series. Less well known is that he was instrumental in the manufacturing of the dies for the first Krugerrands in 1967.

Tommy Sasseen was the Chief Die-Sinker of the South African Mint for the nickel coin series that was being introduced at that time as the Republic of South Africa's new circulation coinage. Die-sinking is the art of preparing dies for stamping the coins. This is a rare skill as the die-sinker must be a good artist, but also possess excellent technical abilities. A good understanding of the behaviour of metals and the manufacturing of dies is essential to ensure that a good reproduction of the planned design is achieved on the coins

As a Chief-die sinker, Tommy Sasseen was managing the entire Die department of the Mint when the new coin series had to be minted. This department was responsible for the manufacturing and hardening of the new dies. Special care had to be taken with the hardening process as this was the first time nickel blanks were used at the mint. Source: History of the Nickel coins of South Africa. Francois Malan.
