I got some coins and hoping you can tell me round about what they are worth in south africa.
1.) 1993 Namibian 1 dollar coin.
2.) 1986 Swaziland 5 cent
3.) 1986 Swaziland 20 cent
4.) a set of 4 Dias 88 coins. 2 silver, 1 gold, 1 bronze. on the back of one coin its written Aguada de sao bras * Pevereiro 1488. each coin is different at the back.
5.) and then I got a big coin, the front has a picture of two springboks and a badge or something and written Johannesburg underneath. the back has like an arch with a big 5 in it with a springbok head on top, looks like 1986 or 1966. Republic of south africa. it looks bronze. It doesn't state anywhere if its a cent or a Rand.
I can't find any info on the last coin on the internet. Any help with that coin would be grately appreciated.
Thanx
Hello Nicky,
You have described the coin well but a picture would be really helpful too. Also if you can measure the diameter and weight of the coin it'd be helpful.

That's areal "how long is a piece of string" question. If you really want to know, have a look on eBay and see what others are being sold for (not how much is being asked, but what they actually sell for), and if you can locate local coin shops, find out how much they are being sold for. These will give you an idea of REAL current worth. Of course, if someone desperately desires one then they will pay far more than a casual buyer.
1.) 1993 Namibian 1 dollar coin.
2.) 1986 Swaziland 5 cent
3.) 1986 Swaziland 20 cent.
All these are worth the equivalent in South African R/c, ie R1, 5c and 20c respectively as they are all still in everyday use and both the Swazi and Namibian currencies are pegged to the rand at a 1:1 rate. If you don't want them, their best value is to swap it for other coins.
Thanx so much so far. here is a pic of the coin. Sorry my phones camera doesn't take nice photos. the coin is very light and I estimate it to be about 3cm in diameter
The item with the Springboks with a bage between it is a
"1966 Johannesburg 5 year Republic medallion"
I think one is presently on auction on bidorbuy.
