Description
SOUTH AFRICAN: (1952-1960) Queen Elizabeth II 1953 Gold Half Pound Coin. Obverse: Head of Queen facing Right. Laureate Young Bust. Legend: ELIZABETH II REGINA Reverse: In Centre Springbok with date above & Valve below. Legend: SOUTH AFRICA-1953-SUID-AFRIKA Edge: Reeded. For Sovereign collectors, obtaining every date is impossible. Many go for gap fillers, and this coin dated 1953 is the coronation year of Elizabeth II in which only proof sovereigns were produced. These are expensive and difficult to obtain, so why not get this South African Pound which bears the young Elizabeth on the obverse and national emblem 'The Springbok' on the reverse.
