INFO: Palaeontological and archaeological records for the past three million years prove that South Africa is the country that can claim evidence for the longest period of hominin occupation in the world. The artefacts left by our ancestors over the past two million years tell their own story - some of the oldest stone tools, the oldest art and the oldest use of fire were discovered in South Africa. The obverse of the Natura privy mark 1oz coin features the Taung Child. This was the first fossil hominin from Africa and, at the time, the oldest fossil hominin known in the world. This fossil was the single most important discovery in palaeoanthropology and one which has irrevocably changed our view of human evolution.
