Offered here is a decorative ceramic plaque from the Africana Commemorative Mint, featuring the “Our Cape Coin Heritage 1600–1834” motif.

At the centre is a blue-and-white ceramic tile with a detailed sailing ship surrounded by ornate scrollwork. The wording around the border reads:

• “THE AFRICANA COMMEMORATIVE MINT – OUR CAPE COIN HERITAGE 1600–1834”
• Afrikaans: “ONS KAAPSE MUNTERFENIS – DIE AFRICANA HERDENKINGSMUNT”

The tile is set into a wooden surround, presenting beautifully either as a wall plaque or display piece. This design originally appeared on the presentation case of the Africana Commemorative Mint’s Cape coin/medallion collection and is now collectible in its own right as a piece of South African numismatic memorabilia.

A charming and unusual item for the South African history, numismatic or mint memorabilia collector, and a distinctive display piece for a study, office or bar.
