A wealth of information can be found in this book for the serious numismatic collector of South African coinage, which has great historical value - a fascinating insight. An extract from the PREFACE of this UNIQUE book - written by the author himself. The nickel coin series ( also known as the SECOND DECIMAL SERIES by coin collectors ) is currently the CINDERELLA series of South African Numismatics. Coin collecting goes hand in hand with good reference books, and a comprehensive book describing the history of this coin series has not been produced up until now. As it is difficult to find good reference material on this series, the author attempted to compile a comprehensive book describing the history of the coins, the people responsible for the designs and the production of these coins. Publication of this book was rather difficult as the intention was to print the manuscript in a A4 size and colour. Self - Publishing was the only option and as a result, this book will probably only be printed in very limited numbers. It was nevertheless considered worthwhile to continue as the research had revealed a host of previously unrecorded information. |
