    Beautiful coins from a time when Rhodesia was a functioning and prosperous country. Best of luck in buying them.

    I paid $2900 which I think is reasonable for a rare coin set with history.......

    I wish I had the money to splurge on such a set.

    I am quite fond of the military history of Rhodesia. Although its a bit sacrilegious I might need to look for a single Rhodesian gold coin that has been separated from its set.

    Bid or Buy in South Africa you may find some, usually 10 shilling coin but most melted down, this site had a complete set.................



    Thank you for your enquiry .

    The price for the set would be 23500 Rand .

    The ten Shilling would be 2000 Rand .

    Both are in their original boxes of issue and the boxes are almost immaculate .







    Kind regards

    Here is my ten shilling coin. Didnt know that some of the coins was melted down which made them even more rarer. I must be lucky.
