SOUTH AFRICA. 5 Shillings, 1892. Berlin Mint. PCGS AU-58. KM-8.1; Hern-Z37. Mintage: 14,000. Single Shaft Variety. A richly toned example that displays delightful sapphire, magenta, and olive-yellow iridescence over slate gray patina when tilted under a light source. Boldly struck up and uniformly brilliant with a thick satin sheen, there are only very faint signs this piece may have briefly circulated before being set aside in a cabinet or envelope. A consistent and eye appealing example that is bound to entice generous bids.
