They're South African gold coins.

Stick it all on Ranieri - he's still around 80/1 so you could end up with £300k or so.

They are genuine S African currency

 

they are pretty near solid gold - like sovereigns - and are bought for investment purposes by people who don't believe in paper money , or want to move cash around without bothering the authorities too much

 

 

You can buy them from reputable banks and coin dealers - there is a markup over the current price of gold

 

I think papers like the Times and FT have the current prices in their business pages

 

They are a punt on the gold price - be careful who you buy from
