Wynand Du Plessis, the owner of Recona Coins is a serious coin collector for more than 30 years. For him coin collecting is a hobby in the first place and growth in value is a bonus.
Coin collecting is today one of the finest and most fascinating hobbies in the world, and fast becoming a business in its own right. A coin is a living piece of history.
