1959 One Pound

[Jongleur 10]

Could anyone assist me with these 1 pound 1959 coins.

They weigh 10 grams, 22 mm diameter and 3 mm thick.

Silver or nickel? Are they scarce/worthless?

I'm not sure Len,but 10 years ago (when I lived in London) these were still in circulation.The dates might have been a bit later but not much 1960-70.

Look at the coin more closely. It is the pattern of the 1980's.It is 1989 not 1959. Pounds in 1959 were banknotes.

It is,I think, still current. They are nickel.

How many do you have?? I will buy them at R8 each.

Thank you ma`am. It is indeed 1989.

A chap from Zim is bringing me Billion and Trillion dollar notes which I

am buying for a laugh. He says he can bring more of these pounds so I will try

and keep some for you.
