† AFRICA. East AFRICA. Bronze Specimen 10-Cents, 1924 (KM 19). Uncirculated Specimen, toned with a few light marks.
ex South Africa Mint archives
Unfortunately there was never a full accounting of what came out of the South Africa Mint archives. It was released in a few batches. I was told that I was one of the first people to see everything, but was only showed one or two of the same coins at any time. I was also told that for the George V and earlier coins there was usually only two of anything, which is in line with what the other mints had. We saw this when I was responsible for selling of the Bank of Canada duplicates in trade for coins they needed for their displays, and then again with the Victoria Mint in the Australia duplicates auction sale. We have not seen these offered since so the rarity could well be as originally stated.
Part of the Arielle Collection Of British Colonial Coins.
Estimate: £200-300
