Info:
The 1/2 c   1 c   2 c   5 c  10 c 20c  50c and the R1 coin sets were struck as part of the second decimal issue 1965 - 1989. In 1962 it was announced that the change in size ,design and metal content of coins was being considered. This was due primarily to the incease in the price of silver. Various patterns were struck for consideration by the parliamentary committee investigating this as the increased use of coin automation machines required long term use of the coin types chosen.
Circulation coins were decided on as listed. Due to the short life span of the R1 notes in circulation these were replaced by a nickel R1 from 1977. Due to requests from collectors and Numismatic Societies a silver R 1 of 80% silver was minted for proof sets from 1965 and later also for circulation. These coins can be differentiated from the nickel R 1 by their larger size and weight. 

From 1965 to 1969 coins had either the Afrikaans wording "Suid Afrika" or English wording "South Africa". Some coins of the period 1965 to 1969 were struck only for sets and are generally not for circulation.
Due to the increased price of nickel in the late 1980's a new coin series had to be investigated. The intrinsic value of the five cent coin was well in excess of its face value and the cost of production made the other values uneconomical to produce. 1989 is the last proof  and mint sets issued of this series. As there were still blanks remaining of the 2c, 20c, 50c and R1 the balance of these were minted and issued dated 1990.
The Republic of South Africa New Series - 1989 to date, this series, consideration was given to the weight of larger coins as change as well as logical increments in size and value. The R2 and R5 notes were replaced by coins. The logical increments decided on were 1c, 2c, 5c copper plated, 10c, 20c, 50c brass plated, R1, R2, R5 nickel plated - with increases in size within each grouping. This system has been studied with keen interest by many overseas countries which have illogical sizes and shapes relative to face values. 


IN 1970 JAN VAN RIEBEECK'S IMAGE WAS REPLACED BY THE COAT OF ARMS AND THE COINS WERE MADE BILINGUAL.
