Half South African Cent Hi friends this is my half South African cent coin. My coin was minted in 1961.  The South African 1/2 cent coin was minted during the years 1961 to 1964. The face value of this coin is 0.5 cent which is equal to 0.005 South African Rand. I personally loved the coin's cape sparrow engraving. I bought this coin last year.          The Rand was introduced in the then Union of South Africa on 14th February 1961 shortly before the establishment of the Republic of South Africa on 31st May 1961. The first series of coins introduced were of the denominations - 1/2 cent, 1 cent, 2.5 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents and 50 cents. All of these coins bear the portrait of Jan Van Riebeek on the coin's obverse side. Jan Van Riebeek (21 April 1619 - 18 January 1677 ) was a Dutch navigator and Dutch colonial administrator. He was regarded as the founding father of South Africa. His son Abraham Van Riebeek  was the Governor General of the Dutch East Indies fr

TWENTY VIETNAMESE SU  Coin's year-1953 Country- South Vietnam  Year of mintage- 1953 Hi friends. This my 20 Su coin from Vietnam. Like the Deutsche mark coin this coin has also got some historical importance. This coin was one of the first coins of the South Vietnamese Dong. 1 Dong was subdivided into 100 Su. The mintage of 10 Su, 20 Su and 50 Su coins started in 1953. Till 1955 dual currency system was practiced in South Vietnam. Both French Indochinese Piastre and Dong were used till 1955. The Dong was used in parts of Vietnam which was not under the control of communist forces till 1954. From 1955 the Dong became the official currency of South Vietnam, which was created after the partition of the state of Vietnam. This coin was used till 1975. In 1975 South Vietnam was defeated by North Vietnam and a new currency was introduced. The new currency was Liberation Dong. 1 Liberation Dong was equal to 500 South Vietnamese Dong.   Lucien Georges Bazor This c
