Interesting fact
The 3 Pence coin from South Africa featuring George V (SUID-AFRIKA 3D) was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1931, just a year after the Union of South Africa was formed, which united four provinces into a single country. The coin's design, featuring King George V, reflects the country's ties to the British Empire at the time. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely used and was eventually phased out in favor of coins made of less valuable materials. Today, the coin is a rare and interesting collector's item that offers a glimpse into South Africa's history.
