A possible theory behind the ellusiveness in finding these

OOM PAUL "CW" Mintmark R5 coins may be as follows:

The majority of coins were sold to individual visitors to the S A Mint who bought a R5 "CW" coin as a souvenir and subsequently these coins are probably in cupboards and drawers all over the world. An assumption could be that posssibly 75% of the total mintage got sold this way.

Therefore an estimate may be that the remaining mintage of only 25% would have became available to numismatic collectors, making them a rare item in the world of numismatic coin collecting,

    Description:
The Black Wildebeest or Gnu, is portrayed on the reverse of the R5 coin. They are found in the northern grassveld regions of the Cape Province, throughout the Orange Free State to KwaZulu-Natal and the southern regions of Gauteng. Wildebeest hides were at one stage an important commodity in Kwa-Zulu-Natal.Although South Africa's first decimal coin series was released in 1961, no R5 coins were minted until 1994. In that year, two R5 coins were issued: the reverse of the first commemorated the Presidential Inauguration and that of the second depicted the Gnu (Black Wildebeest). Since 1996, South Africa's 11 official languages have been acknowledged annually, in rotation, through the representation of the word "South Africa" in one of the official languages on the obverse of the R5 coin. For the coin collector, the year 2000 is an interesting one, because the R5 coin appeared with three different obverses. At the outset of the year, the "old" coat of arms was depicted and later in the same year the new coat of arms was introduced. During the same year, a special R5 coin was minted, depicting outgoing President, Nelson Mandela. The reverse of these three R5 coins depicted the Black Wildebeest. However, a very limited edition of mint-marked R5 coins, depicting the old coat of arms, was struck on "Oom Paul", one of the world's oldest working coin presses, which is situated in the South African Mint's retail outlet, Coin World. Upon instruction from the South African Reserve Bank, a unique R5 was designed to prevent counterfeiting of the coin and on 1 August 2004, South Africa's first bi-metal coin was introduced. This coin has many built-in security features and has a "yellow" centre with an outer "white" ring. A new era in South African coinage has begun with the R5 coin.ref SA MINT
