South Africa 1947 5 shillings in Proof

Dennis88

Any idea as for its value? I have heard that these were struck to commemorate the Royal Family's visit to South Africa that year.

Krause says that a Proof is worth $45...is that something I could expect to get out of it? The Proof I got (will post pics later) has nice original surfaces and probably grades PR-61 thanks to some marks.

I know absolutely nothing about South African coins so any help is appreciated

The only thing I was able to find was the 1947 proof set in original case that sold at St. James auction last month for 100 GBP (~161 USD), which included the 5 Shillings.

Link to the lot.

Fairly common and sells on ebay often. Most are slabbed and are graded PR64-66 and these bring $75-$150 generally. I know a dealer that has a roll in proof (20 coins).
