7) 2 Shillings (Florin) - PR65, KM22
8) 2-1/2 Shillings - PR65, KM19.3
KM-PS6. Mintage: 62 Sets. A laudable Proof set which includes every issue from the Farthing through the 2-1/2 Shillings, all preserved either near or at the gem level. The bronze issues display a consistent chocolate-brown tone, while the silver specimens sparkle alluringly underneath a thin veil of silver patina, the binding characteristic of the overall set one of superior sharpness and striking quality. Given the very low mintage of only 62 sets, the offering represents a scarce opportunity for the discerning collector of South African Proofs, who will undoubtedly recognize both the quality and rarity embodied by the coins in this impressive assemblage.
