Description:

The U N E S C O Man and the Biosphere programme has changed the way we interact with nature. In celebration of the rich diversity of the Kolberg Biosphere, the South African Mint has, for the first time, launched a new colour range to showcase its staggering beauty. The range contains four sterling-silver 1oz crowns: two depicting the flora and two depicting the bird life of the unique U N E S C O Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve.

R 5 Blue-bearded Disa

The first coin in the 2016 colour crown R5 coin series features a beautiful flowering Blue-bearded Disa. The Red List of South African plants lists this orchid as 'vulnerable'. The population is on the decline due to the development of coastal areas, the invasion of alien plant species and the lack of fire, as the plant only flowers in response to fire. A waterfall, the scientific name, the denomination of R5, and the details are shown.

R 5 Hermanus Cliff Gladiolus

 The second crown features the Hermanus Cliff Gladiolus. It is recorded as 'vulnerable' in SANBI's Red List of South African plants. This unique plant carries up to six deep-pink unscented flowers, with only one flower opening at a time. Featured in the background of the coin are its habitat of rocky sandstone outcrops and cliffs. The scientific name, the denomination of R5 and the metal value are details given.

R 10 Male Orange-breasted Sunbird

The first R10 colour coin depicts a hovering male Orange-breasted Sunbird, with its colourful plumage of bright metallic blue, violet, olive green, orange and yellow. The long curved bills and brush-tipped tubular tongues of these sunbirds are perfectly adapted to feed on nectar, their primary source of food. Also depicted on the reverse of the coin are its scientific name, the denomination of R10 and details.

R 10 Male Cape Rock-jumper

The second R10 features a male Cape Rock-jumper with its dark rufous-red breast and belly, standing on a mountain ridge overlooking the ocean, This insectivorous passerine bird builds its nest on the ground where it lays two eggs. Both parents take part in incubating the eggs. The coin also features its scientific name, the denomination of R10, and the metal value.
