Republic 2 Shillings 1896 MS65 NGC, Pretoria mint, KM6. The finest example of this date we have seen by a large margin, and not surprisingly, the only Gem to have been certified by NGC or PCGS, with silky texture over the minimally marked surfaces and luxurious copper-gold tone that accents the peripheries on the obverse, with muticolored shades on the reverse. The epitome of an elite coin for this popular ZAR type - certain to again find itself in an advanced cabinet of the type.The Read Collection
