MINTAGE: PROOF UNKNOWN
Description :
Only one language legend proof coins were officially issued by the South African Mint. The opposite language coins do exist in prooflike condition from 1966 to 1969. Often these coins were struck by the families of the Presidents at special ceremonies at the mint. No official mintage figures exist for these coins, but the number is very small and therefore very rare.
If one were to compare the R1 nickel to the R1 silver coin, one would see that the designs were identical, but the R 1 nickel coin was slightly smaller with a diameter of 31 mm compared to the 32.7 mm of the silver coin. Owing to the ever increasing price of silver, the silver R1 coin was not struck for circulation purposes after 1976. The small brown R1 note was issued instead. The lifespan of this note in circulation was very short lived, and in 1977 a decision was made to replace it with a nickel R1 coin. Source: History of the Nickel coins of South Africa.
