I lived in Cape Town for 9 months and it's an amazing place. The Portuguese, Diaz, were the first Europeans to settle at the Cape. I don't collect coins but I did bring home a set of the coins from the 90s when Mandela was president, they went through a period when the coins were a mixture of pre and post apartheid in circulation and it's the only coins I've ever really collected as a momento of my time there.

I lived in South Africa for 10 years, just outside Johannesburg and did a large part of my schooling there. I never managed to get to Cape Town, we went to Durban instead for our coastal holidays. During that 10 year period we spent 2 in South West Africa (as it was called back then) in a tiny dustbowl of a town. Fond memories but I never brought back any of the currency. It was during that time that I first started to collect stamps, but annoyingly I have lost that first ever album to the shipwreck of time.

In 1996 I spent 2 weeks in Johannesburg, stayed with my mate in hillbrow, that was some experience, like a modern wild west, I went and saw Pretoria when the jacaranda trees were in bloom and visited the trekker monument but I never made it as far as Durrban. I did some mountain climbing and got a permit to hike down the back of table mountain and climbed another mountain called tafelberg, or table mountain 2.0 as I called it.
It's a magical place Africa, harsh and tough but really beautiful.

[@peterperigoe9231]

I doubt it was made of Copper more likely bronze?

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

Agreed but numerous sites say either copper or bronze

[@reprimand33]

1937 to 1941 copper 0.955, Tin 0.030, zinc 0.015
1942 to 1952 copper 0.950, tin 0.005, zinc 0.045, assume this was until 1960
Not sure what content from 1923 to 1937
