 UNCIRCULATED SETS

EARLY DATES

ISSUED WITH SEPARATE

ENGLISH/AFRIKAANS LEGENDS

SETS ALSO INCLUDES

THE R1 SILVER

2nd DECIMAL SERIES

The Silver R1 coin was never issued for circulation, so one had to buy the Mint Packs in order to acquire the R1

that was struck in Silver by the SA Mint at the time

THESE 1/2 c, 1 c, 2 c, 5 c, 10 c, 20 c, 50 c AND THE SILVER R 1 COIN SETS WERE STRUCK AS PART OF THE SECOND DECIMAL ISSUE 1965 - 1990. IN 1962 IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT A CHANGE IN SIZE, DESIGN AND METAL CONTENT OF COINS WAS BEING CONSIDERED. THIS WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF SILVER. VARIOUS PATTERNS WERE STRUCK FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THIS AS THE INCREASED USE OF COIN AUTOMATION MACHINES REQUIRED LONG TERM USE OF THE COIN TYPES CHOSEN.

IN 1970 JAN VAN RIEBEECK WAS REPLACED BY THE COAT OF

ARMS AND THE COINS WERE MADE BILINGUAL,

AFTER 1969 THE COINS WERE ISSUED WITH BOTH

 THE ENGLISH AND THE AFRIKAANS LEGENDS

ON THE SAME COIN

Info:

Events at the time this coinage issue was in use in 1968.

Apollo Moon Landing

Apollo 8 (December 21–27, 1968) was the first crewed spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit and the first human spaceflight to reach the Moon. The crew orbited the Moon ten times without landing, and then departed safely back to Earth. These three astronauts—Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders—were the first humans to witness and photograph the far side of the Moon and an Earthrise.

1968 South African Rugby Union Tour of France

The 1968 South Africa rugby union tour of France was a rugby union tour of France by the South Africa national team in October and November 1968. The tour was South Africa's first solo tour of France, having previously played France on joint-European (Great BritainIreland) tours. South Africa's tours of Europe over the previous decades (1906–071912–131931–321951–521960–611965) were extremely successful, holding a win ratio of 88.16%, played across 150 matches.

South Africa won the two-match tour-series 2–0, with both matches being within a five-point margin (20–28 on aggregate). Overall South Africa won five of the six matches on tour.

Silver has long been valued as a precious metal, used in currency coins, to make ornaments, jewelry, high-value tableware and utensils (hence the term silverware) and as an investment in the forms of coins and bullion. Silver metal is used industrially in electrical contacts and conductors, in mirrors and in catalysis of chemical reactions. Its compounds are used in photographic film and dilute silver nitrate solutions and other silver compounds are used as disinfectants and microbiocides (oligodynamic effect). While many medical antimicrobial uses of silver have been supplanted by antibiotics, further research into clinical potential continues. Silver coins and bullion are used for investing. Mints sell a wide variety of silver products for investors and collectors. Various institutions provide safe storage for large physical silver investments, and various types of silver investments can be made on the stock markets, including mining stocks. Silver bullion bars are sold in a wide range of ounces, provided by various mints and mines around the world. Silver coins and bullion bars are generally 99.9% pure, and labeled with ".999"..ref wikipedia
