Nice Collection

Hi, lovely coins.

When did you start with the South African collection? I'm trying to find more info on the coins - do you know if the ship has a specific name?

 

I started my South African collection about 5 years ago.

 

1952 5 shilling

I've just recently acquired the 1952 5 shilling.

My small bit of research - the ship is the Dromedaris, which carried Jan van Riebeeck, first commander of the Cape when he landed in 1652.
