Description : [ Coins ] Rare Coins, South Africa, Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) Paul Kruger, Silver Florin, 1893, 11.33g (Kaplan 43, KM 6). Some faint marks and light scratches in obverse field, otherwise extremely fine, very rare. This coin is from the surviving part of the major collection of South African coins and medals formed by William Victor Royle Baldwin (known as Roy or Uncle Roy). One of Baldwins founder's three sons, he was born in 1893. In the mid 1930s he contracted tuberculosis and was advised to move to South Africa for his health. He lived for several years at Uitenhage, north of Port Elizabeth. He was sent regular parcels of coins to ticket by the office in London. In addition, to help pass the time, he collected over 4000 South African coins, medals and tokens and became well known to all the local collectors and dealers. He continued to collect South African material after his return to the UK, although later in his life it appears he sold some of his coins. After his death in January 1967, what remained of this collection was bought from his widow by Baldwin's. Although many items have been sold by us over the years, these star pieces have remained in our hands. The coins are sold with Roy's original envelopes bearing his meticulously hand-written descriptions. this is by far the rarest date of any ZAR denomination and is almost impossible to find in high grade.
