This specimen was lot 72760 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2019), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "SOUTH AFRICA. 2-1/2 Shillings, 1894. Pretoria Mint. Republic. PCGS VF-35 Gold Shield. A SCARCE piece, this example has seen some minor circulation, but nevertheless retains good detail and originality, along with a pleasing tone." South Africa, after a turbulent history between English and Dutch settlers and the native population, was constituted the Union of South Africa in 1910. This coin was issued 1892-97 by the Afrikaner republic before its conquest by the British. With the collapse of apartheid, collecting South African coins is now respectable again.
