Comment
Main difference between 17.2 and 17.3 is an inscription on reverse "ZUID" VS "SUID"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1931-1936 South African 1 Shilling coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1931, just a year after the formation of the Union of South Africa, which was a unification of four British colonies: the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Orange Free State, and the Transvaal. This period saw significant economic growth and development in South Africa, with the introduction of new industries and infrastructure, and the coin reflects this change with its depiction of King George V, who was the reigning monarch at the time.
