A commemorative R5 circulation coin was issued on the day featuring the much loved Nelson Mandela on the reverse of the coin. This is the first time ever that a former President has featured twice on the same denomination and in the same circulation coin series. Again a smiling Nelson Mandela was portrayed wearing a "Madiba" shirt. The two coins also show the development of security features in modern coinage. The R5 struck in 2000 has a copper core and is nickel plated. It features a standard edge rimming with no security features. The R5 struck in 2008 consists of two metal alloys which are pressed together during the minting process. The edge rimming features a line pattern, as well as the miniature letters "S A R B" (South African Reserve Bank) and R5. Technically this is a far more complex and difficult coin to manufacture. The South African Mint attended the XXVII Mint Directors' Conference which was held from the 6th to the 12th May 2012 in Vienna. This event is held every second year and is seen as the Oscars of the numismatic industry. South Africa was proud to announce in 2012 that it was awarded the prestigious "Most Beautiful Commemorative Gold Coin" for our 2011 1oz gold Natura coin that features the Meerkat. This silver coin was struck in commemoration of the award. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO RESERVE Call Marketing Now (011) 789-2233 or (011) 789 -2234 Or email us by clicking on This email address is being protected from spambots.
