Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1923-1924 South African 1 Shilling coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1923, just a year after the establishment of the Union of South Africa, which united four British colonies into a single dominion. This coin was also minted during a period of economic turmoil, with the price of silver fluctuating significantly due to the Great Depression. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation until 1936 and is now a sought-after collector's item.
