1968 long nine-coin South African proof set with both gold coins in the original SA Mint box of issue.
This 1968-dated long set contains nine South African coins:
This nine-coin set includes decimal South African coinage struck with a proof finish in a range of metals. Included are 2R and 1R coins in 22-carat gold, an 800 silver 1R coin and a range of base metal issues struck with the same designs as contemporary SA circulating currency.
This nine-coin set is offered in the original red fitted case of issue with a 'SAM' mint stamp on the interior of the lid and gold lettering on the exterior. 10,000 sets of this type were issued by the South African Mint, but complete sets, including the gold coins, can be challenging to acquire, particularly in the UK and Europe.
As older, unencapsulated, pre-owned proof issues, these 1968 South African coins may show signs of toning and surface hairlines, particularly to the side that has seen the most exposure. No certificate of authenticity is supplied with these sets, as none was issued. The images on this webpage are stock photos representing the type and grade of coins you can expect to receive, but not necessarily the exact set.
10,000 nine-coin proof sets were issued by the South African Mint in 1968. These sets contain two 22-carat gold Rand coins, one 800 silver coin and six base metal proof issues in a fitted case.
