THE COINAGE AND COUNTERFEITS OF THE ZUID-AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK - 1974. First edition
Elias Levine
Description:
138pp. Hard cover, gilt title to spine with dust-jacket.
Apart from some light bumping to the corners, the book is in very good all round condition. The binding is tight throughout. The dust-jacket has a few nicks and tears and creases, but has been protected from further wear and tear by a vinyl wrap around.
Coin-collectors, particularly ZAR enthusiasts, will welcome the publication of this detailed study of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek coinage. Chapters include collecting for beginners, coin care and grading, examination of the regular ZAR series as well as rarities, and of interest to all numismatists, the most comprehensive information on forgeries yet published and some exciting new facts on the legendary Kruger millions. Investors are advised on investing profitablyin the 'new Kruger millions', the Krugerrands, as well as ZAR coins, of which there is a catalogue included of current valuations.
The foreword to this commemorative volume is by Mrs F.B.Lang, President Burger's grand-daughter and owner of the two Burgers Staatsponde.
